Preview
The 2019 edition of the WTA tournament in Rabat, Morocco will start with the defending champion (Elise Mertens) on the main draw, as the top seed. Ajla Tomljanovic, last year’s finalist, will be also present at the start of the tournament as the fourth seed. For Mertens, this is a chance to grab the second singles trophy of the season, after she defeated Simona Halep in Qatar. In the doubles competition, the Belgian player has had much more success. She managed to win both Indian Wells and Miami Open, completing what is also called the “Sunshine double” in doubles. Overall, Mertens seems to be in good form and she’s the main favourite of the competition.
The second seed, Su-Wei Hsieh, starts her clay season in Morocco. Her performances this season were not great, but she looks pretty stable, reaching two semifinals in big tournaments. However, Hsieh is not a good clay player, so we cannot expect too much from her.
Apart from a last-16 appearance in Miami, there’s not much to say about Yulia Putintseva’s season. She is seeded third in Rabat, but it remains to be seen how far she will go in the competition.
Last year’s finalist the this year’s fourth seed Ajla Tomljanovic has had a mediocre season so far, besides the final she lost in Thailand. Overall, the Croatian turned Australian has lost all the finals she played in (four).
