Maria Sakkari reached Moscow QF which means she's guaranteed a spot at the YEC.

And me  Too bad that Niko wasnt able to beat Norrie, but still Masters final is huge achievnment

Anett Kontaveit wins Moscow from 46 04 down so the race for the final YEC spot will extend to next week. She needs to win Cluj but even if she does, Jabeur can clinch the spot by making Courmayeur SF if I get it right.

Marta Kostyuk dismantled Emma Raducanu 62 61 in Cluj QF and said she had her figured out by the fifth game already. It seems like everyone has enough tape on Raducanu by now to expose her flaws. Hey, at least she beat Hercog & Bogdan here in Cluj.

Kimiko Date is apparently not very (if at all) impressed by Osaka's media issues.

Well, it's Halep vs Kontaveit in the Cluj final. If Kontaveit wins, she will be #8 for YEC.
