After finally getting off the schneid and posting a win in Asia (unfortunately, at countrywoman Bianca Andreescu’s expense), Victoria Mboko gets right back at it Wednesday against qualifier Eva Lys of Germany
Mboko met Lys in the second round at Roland Garros, after getting through the qualifying, and beat her 6-4, 6-4.
Also in action is Gabriela Dabrowski, teaming up with Sofia Kenin this week. Erin Routliffe had played earlier in the Asian swing, with Dabrowski off to attend a friend’s wedding. They’re both easing up a bit on the schedule, since they’ve already qualified for the WTA Finals.
(Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of EDT, Guangzhou is 12 hours ahead)
