Strasbourg spotlight: Can you pass this clay-court quiz?
The final WTA 500 stop on clay before Roland Garros? That would be Strasbourg, where the 39th edition of the Internationaux de Strasbourg is underway.
Set in eastern France, this long-running event has served as a launching pad for Roland Garros success (just ask Barbora Krejcikova). And this year’s field is one of its strongest yet.
Six Top 20 players are in the draw, including World No. 4 Jessica Pegula, who’s looking for her first win at the event after early losses in 2019 and 2021. She leads a player list that features four Grand Slam champions: Emma Raducanu, Elena Rybakina, Sofia Kenin, along with Barbora Krejcikova, who fell in her first match after a long absence from tour.
Other familiar names include Emma Navarro, a quarterfinalist here last year, Paula Badosa, and Danielle Collins, the 2024 runner-up.
The prize? 500 points, €142,610 -- and a dose of confidence heading into Paris.
