–
The endless Madrid is done. Now the endless Rome takes its place during the slowest-moving part of the season, most would agree.
The good news is that two Canadians squeezed into the qualifying – Victoria Mboko by wild card, Marina Stakusic because of other withdrawals.
And it’ll be quite a thing to see longtime former top-five player Maria Sakkari in the qualifying. But that’s where she is at the moment even if she had a decent Madrid.
(Rome is six hours ahead of EDT).
