Lucky loser takes Petra's spot in the draw?

Lucky loser takes Petra's spot in the draw?

Don't actually know the rules about this when a withdrawal is before the tournament starts - anybody?

 

[10isfan]

GSM will know. I believe he’ll say the draw gets shuffled around since the first point hasn’t been played.

 

[Front242]

A bit weird that Vinci wants to retire here. I mean, ok, Italian player, retire at home fair enough....but should really play the French Open too imo.

 

[britbox]

I wasn't aware Serena had pulled out.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Seed #17 will be moved to Petra's spot and the current spot of seed #17 will be given to LL.

 

[10isfan]

Rybarikova replaces Petra so she plays Konta in round one.

 

[10isfan]

I hope Serena plays Wimby but won’t be surprised if she doesn’t.

[Hoergren]

It has been raining in ROme so schedules are 2 hours behind schedule when play resumes around 1pm (13.00)

3 WTA matches finished 4.40 pm so it'll be a late show for some

 

[britbox]

Dominika progressed at least.

Masha v Barty might be interesting although I'd go with Masha right now. Not much else juicy going on yet.

[GameSetAndMath]

I think this is probably the best string of wins put together by Post-Meldonium Pova.

 

[Hoergren]

It's now 01 am and Muguruza and Gavrilova still playing now in third set!. Now I go to sleep Mugu leading 75 26 30 so she probably wins.

 

[Moxie]

Big and unfortunate controversy in the Karolina Pliskova v. Sakkari match. The argument continues for Hawk-eye on clay.

 

[kskate2]

It's now 01 am and Muguruza and Gavrilova still playing now in third set!. Now I go to sleep Mugu leading 75 26 30 so she probably wins.

She was up 4-0 before she gave all the games back. Served for the match at 6-5 and had 30-0. I say all of that to say that Daria ended up winning it in a final set TB. Total time of the match was 3hrs 8min. This winner will play Sharapova tomorrow
