WTA Adelaide; ATP Cordoba, Montpellier, Singapore
OK, AO was a success, let's see how the normal touring resumes! Vaccines are
rolling out all over the world so maybe, maybe we can be a bit optimistic? In
any case the men move out of Australia for a bunch of ATP 250s and back to the
various bubbles/quarantine protocols each country has to offer. The women stay
one more week in Australia for a pretty juicy WTA 500.

WTA 500 outdoor HC. It's a very short draw: 28 women, top four seeds having
byes. Some of the ladies in the top that had a less than stellar AO are here.
Barty, Bencic, Konta, Mertens have byes.
Swiatek, Martic, Putintseva, Wang (Q) complete the seeds list. Who else
stayed down under? Well...
Collins v Zheng, Stosur, Sevastova v Garcia, Mladenovic, Kudermetova,
Tomljanovic. It's a pretty good draw.

That's it for the women. Onto the men.
Cordoba Open

This ATP 250 is the opening for the Golden Swing - the South American clay
season. So yeah... it's on clay, outdoor. 28 players draw, so the top four
seeds have byes: Schwartzman, Paire, Kecmanovic, Pella. The other four
seeds are ARV, Koepfer, Monteiro, Delbonis. Yeah, pretty weak sauce.
Delbonis is #80. Can I at least recognize some others? Ha!
Cecchinato and a pair of Sousas. And of course
Thiago Seyboth Wild!

L'Arbre Blanc - so yes, in Montpellier you can live in a tree
|
Another ATP 250, but this time indoor HC. You know it already, 28 players, 4
seeds have byes: RBA, Goffin, Lajovic, Hurkacz. The other four seeds
are Sinner, Humbert, Sonego, Struff. Way better than in Argentina. Who
else is in France? Basilashvili, Murray, Simon, Tsonga, Pouille. Not
bad.

Singapore Tennis Open

Old Hill Street Police Station - Now, to be honest, I have no
clue what is old... The hill? The street, the station or the police?
|
The third ATP 250 on the third continent. Like in France, we're on HC indoor.
The guys with byes are Mannarino, Millman, Cilic and Bublik. The
other four seeds are Nishioka, Albot, Harris and Kwon. Turns out
this one is the weakest sauce of the week. Kwon is #97. Wait! WAAAAAIT!
The Goat is here! This is obviously GS level now. And there's that
Duckworth guy too.
