–
Slim pickings on the third day of the Bad Homburg event with only No. 2 seed Liudmila Samsonova and No. 6 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in action on Tuesday.
But Paula Badosa was a good draw as well, pulling it out against a German opponent.
Yulia Putintseva joined the crew of deep-runners at last week’s event and withdrew.
Sloane Stephens v Emma Raducanu – assuming Stephens came to play – could have been a good one in Eastbourne. Although it didn’t really turn out that way.
(Bad Homburg is 6 hours ahead of EDT; Eastbourne is 5 hours ahead)
