–
The Berlin sked shows a little of the sifting sands of tennis with Emma Navarro (despite hanging on in the top 10) unseeded, and former top-10 player Ons Jabeur in – but as a lucky loser.
Jabeur played her first qualifying in about 5 1/2 years over the weekend, but lost to Wang Xinyu – 6-0 in the third set.
She plays a qualifier, and two of the other first-round matches are qualifier vs. qualifier. With the level of some of the first-round matches in this stacked field (Rybakina v Zheng comes to mind), it’s a bit of an unbalanced luck of the draw for some.
