ATP Rotterdam, Buenos Aires; WTA Doha, Lyon
We're no more Down Under. Wich means we're back to normal bubbles and
quarantines and more risks for the players, because, let's face it, C19 is
still going strong. So both tours have a 500 and a 250, very nicely balanced.
Gonna start with the ladies.
Qatar Total Open
|
Almost went again with the insane Doha skyscrapers!
Camels and dunes
|
WTA 500 outdoor, HC. It started very strong but a whole bunch of top tenners
withdrew. So we have a 28 draw, with the top four seeds getting byes:
Svitolina, Pliskova, Sabalenka and Kvitova.
Bertens (remember her?), Bencic, Brady and
Azarenka complete the seeds list. It's good, right? Now onto the other
notables:
Anisimova, Rybakina, Kuznetsova, Kudermetova v Muguruza, Sakkari, Keys,
Kontaveit, Kerber, Pavlyuchenkova, Ostapenko, Wang, Jabeur. Jeez, feels like I named all 28! Basically everyone from the 2nd echelon is
here.

| Petra Kvitova |
Open 6ème Sens Métropole de Lyon
|
|
Le cube orange
|
WTA 250 indoor, HC. Top seed is #33 Alexandrova, so yeah, this is weak
sauce compared to Doha. It's a draw of 32 players, no byes. The other seven
seeds are Ferro, Garcia, Mladenovic, Cornet, Cirstea, Badosa, Rus. It's
like we're in France or something! Now let's see the filler:
Babos, Giorgi, Buzarnescu, Gasparyan, Bara, Sasnovich v Bouchard.
Strong Romanian contingent too!
 |
| Clara Tauson |
Onto the gentlemen.
ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament, Rotterdam
|
|
Markthal - I'm sure I used this before!
|
ATP 500 indoor HC. 32 draw, so no byes. The eight seeds are
Medvedev, The Tsi, Zverev, Rublev, RBA, Goffin, FAA, The Man. Let's
check now the rest of the field:
Coric v Van de Zandschulp, De Minaur, Nishikori, Struff, Humbert, Murray,
The Khach, Norrie, Hurkacz, Mannarino. Ain't bad at all!
 |
| Andrey Rublev |
Argentina Open, Buenos Aires
|
|
Torre Monumental (formerly known as Torre de los Ingleses,
and then Falklands happened...)
|
ATP 250 on clay, outdoor. It's the second stop in the Golden Swing. 28 draw,
so top four seeds have byes: Schwartzman, Garin, Paire and
Kecmanovic. The other four seeds are ARV, Andujar, Djere and
The Tiaf. Others in Argentina:
Delbonis, Cecchinato, Coria, Sousa. Yeah...

| Diego Schwartzman |
C19 still is a thing, awful and shit so the coda will stay:
