–

While Cluj-Napoca is completely up for grabs, the seeds did a good job getting to the semifinals in Abu Dhabi, even if there were a number of upsets.

Is this one of those weeks where Samsonova can’t miss a ball? It’ll need to be, if she wants to get past No. 1 seed Elena Rybakina

In Doha, where most of the big guns have first-round byes, the final round of qualifying will make for a pretty competitive day nonetheless.
