For some reason I thought Anisimova had been born in Russia and emigrated later. Guess that's only Kenin then.

Thinking about it, putting Davis Cup qualifiers in the week ahead of IW looks really smart scheduling (in theory). Have Davis Cup on the weekend and then IW doesn't start before Thursday I think for the men. Could in theory get some top players to appear in Davis Cup qualifiers....though it still didn't convince folks like Zverev to play this time around.
