–
Elena Rybakina and Paula Badosa, neither of whom has lit it up during this clay-court season for different season, are scheduled to take the court Tuesday in Strasbourg.
Badosa, whose back woes returned, was in the draw in Rome but in the end, pulled out late.
Rybakina had trouble keeping the ball in the court against a very, very good Bianca Andreescu in Rome.
(Strasbourg is six hours ahead of EDT; Rabat is five hours ahead).
