Tennis in the Land - Cleveland

A WTA 250 on outdoor hard in Cleveland, the week between Cincinnati and New York. The court plays slower than these players are used to, which mutes the serve: holds sit at 64%, aces are scarce and tiebreaks almost never arrive because the break comes first. Solid returners close matches cleanly and two thirds end in straights. Sorribes Tormo, Kessler and Cirstea have all won it.
