Leylah Fernandez played her second round in Abu Dhabi vs. fellow lefty Lulu Sun. And it was a much more simple matter than her opener.
As well, Elena Rybakina (and new coach Davide Sanguinetti) debuted and squeezed through as Team Bucie – Lucie Safarova and Bethanie Mattek-Sands – got the band back together again.
No. 2 seed Paula Badosa, along with No. 3 Kasatkina, No. 4 Putintseva and No. 6 Pavlyuchenkova all went out.
In Cluj-Napoca, No. 2 and No. 8 also went out.
(Cluj-Napoca is 7 hours ahead of ET; Abu Dhabi is 9 hours ahead and Mumbai is 11 hours ahead).
