This week before back-to-back 1000s is a HUGE opportunity for a whole lot of players to pick up titles and ranking points.
Foremost among them is Emma Raducanu, who feels at home in Cluj-Napoca because of her father’s heritage, but who will come up against a popular home girl in her final year on the circuit, who would love nothing more than to pick off one more title in Sorana Cirstea.
In Mubadala, a 500, it’s not quite the same tasty treat as No. 2 Ekaterina Alexandrova takes on qualifier Sara Bejlek.
And in Ostrava, no Czechs in the singles final although three of them fill feature in the doubles final.
In Doha, the qualifying is in the final round.
(Ostrava is 6 hours ahead of ET; Cluj-Napoca is 7 hours ahead; Abu Dhabi 9 hours ahead).
