–
Another day of end-to-end tennis, starting at 10 p.m. ET tonight for Osaka, and ending probably after midnight tomorrow in San Diego.
And it looks like Anna Kalinskaya, who missed a fair bit of time this summer, is back at it full force as she was in both singles and doubles – and won both on Wednesday.
In San Diego, the top four seeds – and they are quality seeds – who had a bye in the first round swing into action. Only Jabeur was one and done.
(Osaka is 13 hours ahead of ET; San Diego is three hours behind).
