Strasbourg is the smaller of two tour events this week, and it’s perilously close to Roland Garros, but it still has a better-than-normal field, as the women scramble to get their clay legs under them. Elina Svitolina, Kiki Bertens, Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Ekaterina Alexandrova and Sloane Stephens are among the seeds.

First-round matches to watch:
Jelena Ostapenko vs. Lauren Davis
Alexandrova vs. Su-Wei Hsieh
