Guadalajara's round of sixteen tops a light tour card

Two WTA events carry a quiet day: Mexico's round of sixteen, and Brazil's hard-court draw working through the round of thirty-two.

Tour-level tennis is light today.

Guadalajara is the bigger of the two and the day's leading event. Its card carries qualifying and round-of-sixteen play at once, and the model's favourite in the field is M. Kostyuk. Those round-of-sixteen matches fall in the North American afternoon and evening, which makes them a late-night watch in the UK and a morning one in Australia.

Sao Paulo is the smaller event, working through the round of thirty-two and the round of sixteen early in the Brazilian day. That suits a European afternoon and lands in the small hours in Australia. The model finds several of its matches close, and two of the picks below are near-even calls.
