It’s hard to know how the Olympics are going to play out. But you wouldn’t discount a Zheng Qinwen v Karolina Muchova match for a medal, depending on how it all plays out.

They met in the Palermo final Sunday night. Muchova won their only previous meeting, in the first round of Madrid in 2022, on clay. This time, it was Zheng.

In Budapest, No. 1 seed Diana Shnaider (also headed to the Olympics) won her third WTA title of the season, on her third different surface.

Meanwhile, the tournaments in Prague and Iasi were already under way on Sunday, with Friday finishes ahead of the Olympics.
