–
The Berlin sked shows a little of the sifting sands of tennis with Emma Navarro (despite hanging on in the top 10) unseeded, and former top-10 player Ons Jabeur in – but as a lucky loser.
Jabeur played her first qualifying in about 5 1/2 years over the weekend, but lost to Wang Xinyu – 6-0 in the third set.
She played a qualifier in Caroline Dolehide, and got through after a tough first set.
In Nottingham, Leylah Fernandez was first up and trying to get on board for this grass season. She had far more trouble closing it out – broken at 4-1, 5-2 and 5-4 in the third set. But got through in the end.
(Berlin is 6 hours ahead of EDT; Nottingham is 5 hours ahead)
