[Kevin Fischer @Kfish_WTA]

Thank you @naomiosaka. Last night for my daughter’s 5th grade current events homework she wrote about Naomi’s US Open title. The best part... we spent more time talking about why she wore the mask, what it means and how we can be part of the change!!

[Kevin Fischer @Kfish_WTA]

@bgtennisnation after doing some research, it appears that the Stuttgart main draw cutoff of No.29 is the highest cut-off at a WTA event
