–

Can’t ask for more than you get No. 1 playing No. 2 in a WTA 1000 final.

And in this case, it’s a rematch of last year’s Madrid final, in which No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka upset No. 1 Iga Swiatek.

The other two events, both WTA 125s, are at the semifinal stage.

And the soon-retiring Alizé Cornet was still kicking, until she wasn’t.

(Madrid, Saint-Malo and Lleida are 6 hours ahead of EDT)
