UniCredit Iasi Open - Iasi

A WTA 250 on outdoor clay in Iasi, sharing a clay fortnight with Hamburg. The clay is very slow and the serve earns almost nothing: holds fall to 54%, aces are close to absent and the returner dictates while tiebreaks stay rare. Even so, nearly three quarters of matches end in straights, because the grinder who breaks first keeps breaking. Begu, Andreeva and Sherif have all won it.
