Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

After a week for BJK Cup all over the world, the WTA returns with the popular indoor 500 event in Stuttgart, the rescheduled 250 in Rouen France (with the scheduled return of Bianca Andreescu!) and also a WTA 125 in Oeiras, Portugal.

There are a lot of players who can’t get to those events because of the BJK Cup timeframe.

And still others took a pass on representing their countries to play this week.

But combined with a $100K ITF in Madrid and a lot of other ITF tournaments, there are plenty of playing opportunities to go around.

(Stuttgart and Rouen are six hours ahead of EDT; Oeiras is five hours ahead).
