A LOOK AHEAD
It’s the final week of tournaments before the biggest clay-court event of them all, the French Open. Plenty of top teams are in action on both tours. In Geneva, Switzerland, top seeds Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau are still seeking their first title on the dirt this year. Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah, the second seeds, will be going for their third clay title in 2017.
Rome finalists Dodig and Granollers are the top seeds in Lyon, France, followed by all-time great Daniel Nestor and Fabrice Martin.
At the WTA stop in Strasbourg, France, the top seeds are the sister act of Yung-Jan Chan (one half of the Hingis/Chan dream team) and Hao-Ching Chan. Miami champions Gabriela Dabrowski and Yifan Xu are the second seeds.
In Nurnberg, Germany, Sania Mirza—trying to reach her first clay-court final of the year—and Yaroslava Shvedova lead the field. The second-seeded team of Andreja Kelpac and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez is already through to the quarters.
