A somewhat light schedule in both Mérida and Austin, with No. 1 seed Jessica Pegula the only seed in action in Texas.

In Mérida, No. 5 seed Donna Vekic and No. 2 Paula Badosa were the night session – and also the only seeds. And Vekic is out.

Maria Sakkari teamed up with unknown countrywoman Dmitra Pavlou for doubles – something she rarely does and isn’t particularly accomplished at. The result was to be expected.
