–
The Sunshine Double is done. And the spring clay-court season begins although not everyone is on board yet.
Bianca Andreescu joins Leylah Fernandez in Charleston, on the Har-Tru, via a wild card.
And Gabriel Diallo is already in Europe, scheduled for Bucharest on the clay and the top seed in the tournament.
There are also Canadians in Houston, Bogota, Mexico, Japan, China and … Jackson, Mississippi. And Montrealer Taha Baadi, who switched to representing Morocco this year, has a wild card into both singles and doubles at the ATP tournament in Marrakech.
