Open Capfinances Rouen Metropole - Rouen

A WTA 250 on outdoor clay in Rouen, before Stuttgart and Madrid. The clay measures at ordinary pace and the returner runs the show: holds sit at 62%, aces barely happen and tiebreaks are rare because breaks come first. Sets stay short. Favourites mostly survive, though not by much, with a little over half of matches ending in straights. Kostyuk and Svitolina are the champions here.
