Roland Garros started a week later than normal because of Covid restrictions, with officials hoping that a later starting date would allow more fans to attend. This led to the unusual situation of two 250 tourneys taking place during the 2nd week of RG. 

Sadly, one other tournament, the Libema Open, in The Netherlands, was postponed to June 2022 because of Covid restrictions. The tournament, a 250 for both the WTA and the ATP, is also known as ‘s-Hertogenbosch. At least we won’t need to spell that this year! (™@Hartt).

There is a WTA 125 BOL (Bol, Croatia) but "we don't deal below a 250, we're elitists and lazy, but poster @Peter F may very well keep abreast about goings on there.
