Finally, Bianca Andreescu is back.
The Canadian returns to action for the first time since last fall, and faces Suzan Lamens of the Netherlands in her first-round match in Rouen.
In Stuttgart, a surprise as Mirra Andreeva gets a lucky loser in her opener. But it’s … her older sister Erika.
No fun for mum.
Erika is nearly three years older, and she leads their head-to-head 1-0 after dismissing little sis in Wuhan last fall.
(Stuttgart and Rouen are six hours ahead of EDT; Oeiras is five hours ahead).
