–

Three of the four top seeds, who had first-round byes, got into action in Berlin on Wednesday.

That includes top seed Aryna Sabalenka, who had a few days in Mykonos to decompress after a tough loss in the Roland Garros final. But she didn’t get to finish on Wednesday.

Worth watching: Paolini v Jabeur. With the veteran Tunisian and former Wimbledon finalist winning in straight sets.

In Nottingham, Leylah Fernandez got the late shift against lucky loser Cristina Bucsa. Which was a far more appetizing prospect than that slot in the original draw, which was the winnere between Queen’s champion Tatjana Maria and former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova. But both of them withdrew.

Fernandez got through, but not without a lot of troublesome moments, especially on her serve.
