Check out the tables for the WTA 250 tournaments in Cleveland and Granby, which will serve as the dress rehearsal for the US Open. Alizé Cornet, Caroline Garcia, Diane Parry and Océane Dodin will be the French women to follow this week.
A week before the US Open, Cleveland is hosting the second edition of its WTA 250 tournament, where some big names on the circuit have made the trip to garner maximum confidence. This will notably be the case of the former winner of Roland-Garros Barbora Krejcikova, but also of the former winner of the Australian Open Sofia Kenin. Two French women are present in the main draw: Alizé Cornet, who will aim for the 500th victory of her career against Dayana Yastremska, and Caroline Garcia, even if the Lyonnaise, semi-finalist in Cincinnati, could forfeit in order to preserve herself for the ‘US Open, where she will be seeded with a good shot to play given her current form.
