–
A lot of catching up to in Strasbourg, as rain washed out all but one match on Tuesday.
The only match to finish was the singles second-round clash involving Leylah Fernandez.
So there were six seeds in action, including the four who had first-round byes. All of those got through.
In Rabat, everything is going swimmingly, weather-wise (unlike France)
But they’ve had few more upsets.
(Strasbourg is 6 hours ahead of EDT; Rabat is 5 hours)
