–

From one WTA 1000 to another as the qualifying in Rome begins on Monday.

Hopefully the tournament will have better weather than it did a year ago, when rain interfered with play more days than not.

No. 1 seed in the qualifying is Jaqueline Cristian. But there is also Alizé Cornet – until she withdrew – and Americans Hailey Baptiste, Elizabeth Mandlik, Sachia Vickery and Alycia Parks, among the players vying for a main-draw spot. The Americans were … dee-nied.
