–
The women are inaugurating “Andy Murray Arena” at Queen’s Club, as the club adds an extra week of high-priced tennis in welcoming the women during the first week of grass season.
The men will follow next weeke.
And Leylah Fernandez got right to it, with a tricky opener against the slice-happy Tatjana Maria, who has good history on the turf. Too tricky, as it turned out.
In ‘s-Hertogenbosch, former junior champion team Bianca Andreescu and Carson Branstine are teaming up for the first time in eons. And they posted a great win.
Branstine also qualified in singles with two really good victories – and the reward is she drew No. 1 seed Samsonova in the first round.
(‘s-Hetogenbosch is 6 hours ahead of EDT; London is 5 hours ahead)
