The No. 4 and No. 5 seeds in Linz had a great opportunity to pick off a WTA 500-level title.

But wouldthe third time be the charm for Ekaterina Alexandrova? She was a finalist last year, losing to Jelena Ostapenko, and also in 2018. And yes, it was!

In Singapore, No. 2 seed Elise Mertens was the major favorite in the singles final, as she faced unseeded Ann Li. She got through fairly routinely.

(Linz is 6 hours ahead of ET; Singapore is 13 hours ahead).
