Finally, Bianca Andreescu is back.
The Canadian returned to action for the first time since last fall, and faced Suzan Lamens of the Netherlands in her first-round match in Rouen. She didn’t get through, but she’s off the schneid and showed some very good things.
In Stuttgart, a surprise as Mirra Andreeva got a lucky loser in her opener. But it was … her older sister Erika.
Unfortunately for big sis, she brought a knee injury into the match and despite a heavy retape early on, retired after one game in the second set.
(Stuttgart and Rouen are six hours ahead of EDT; Oeiras is five hours ahead).
