–
The women are back in action this week, after a BJK Cup week last week meant no WTA events.
And Félix Auger-Aliassime is getting back on the horse after a tough loss in Monte Carlo. That he squeezed through his opener was nothing short of a miracle.
Marina Stakusic hit the European red clay, and lost to a fellow youngster with a similar (through lower) ranking in the first round of the Oeiras qualifying.
Denis Shapovalov, who took a short-lived wild card into the Houston clay event, also took one into Bucharest. But was one-and-done vs Moutet.
