–
There was a lack of star power in Monastir this week. But at least the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds reached the final, which is the best-case scenario. And No. 2 seed Elise Mertens successfully defended her title.
In Nanchang, it was an all-Czech final between Marie Bouzkova and last week’s finalist, Katerina Siniakova. And hard-luck kid Bouzkova ended up on the short end once again
Also in Nanchang, Vera Zvonareva and Laura Siegemund played one match to qualify for the WTA Finals in Cancun.
If they lost, Leylah Fernandez and Taylor Townsend are in. But they won. Those two are nails in the clutch.
(Nanchang is 12 hours ahead of ET; Cluj-Napoca is seven hours ahead, and Monastir is five hours ahead).
