The 2020 Palermo Ladies Open will make history books as the first WTA tournament since the five-month coronavirus shutdown. Sunday’s tennis action on the Italian island was all about the second round of qualifying, as main-draw matches start tomorrow, while players wearing masks is now the new normal on tournament grounds, as you can see in our exclusive photo gallery provided by Jimmie48.
When it comes to qualifying, we have photos of Nadia Podoroska‘s three-set win over eighth seed Ysaline Bonaventure and Liudmila Samsonova‘s elimination of Marta Kostyuk, also in three sets.
