A lot of seeds went for the jump too early in this tournament. But a final with just-turned-19 Mirra Andreeva and the talented Marta Kostyuk is a pretty good save.
There will be … no handshake at the end, with a Russian vs. a Ukrainian.
On the men’s side, the doubles final feature the No. 3 seed against the rather unknown team of Andreozzi and Guinard.
