Alcaraz admitted he didn't play his best tennis all week leading me to question whether the 21-year-old is primed for clay court dominance for the next few seasons. The top women return to the red dirt with Sabalenka, Gauff, & Swiatek competing in Stuttgart. Alex Eala competes for the first time since her Miami Open semifinal run.
