–

Despite the eagerness from most of the players to get to Paris and feel that Grand Slam vibe, the Strasbourg final is still a pretty good one.

No. 4 seed Elena Rybakina faced No. 8 seed Liudmila Samsonova and took her first title in a year.

And both those players can be untouchable on their day. And they can also be … pretty touchable on other days.

But both showed up for this final.

(Strasbourg is six hours ahead of EDT; Rabat is five hours ahead).
