–

More quick turnarounds as No. 1 seed Jelena Ostapenko, who played the women’s doubles final in Melbourne on Sunday, is in action Thursday in Linz and barely pulled it out.

As well, Donna Vekic had a tough opener on paper as she faced Dayana Yastremska, who had a massive Australian Open in singles. It turned out to be quick and painless.

And China’s Wang Yafan, who also impressed in Melbourne, is looking for a quarterfinal berth in Hua Hin and made it.
