–
Bianca Andreescu has a tough opener in Berlin in Tuesday, as she faces Amanda Anisimova.
Anisimova, up to a career high No. 13 after her run to the Queen’s Club final, might be a little worn out, though.
Also a first round: Zheng Qinwen – No. 4 in the world as of Monday – takes in 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
And another former Wimbledon champion, Marketa Vondrousova, gets reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys in her first-round match.
In Nottingham, a first-round clash between Petra Kvitova and Tatjana Maria morphed into a clash between lucky loser Yuliia Starodubtseva and lucky loser Cristina Bucsa.
