Is Stuttgart planning on having a main draw ceremony at some point before Monday?

Weird there is no Main Draw out yet isnt it.

[Jack]

Weird there is no Main Draw out yet isnt it.

I'm hearing rumors it will be canceled. Supposedly the WTA will only be playing tournaments in Tokyo for the remainder of the year.

[ptmcmahon]

No draw based EMW trades!

[Rose Nylund]

The draw is in a couple hours. They're doing a big opening ceremony in front of fans that I think is mandatory for all the players to show up and they'll do the draw there.

This is how the official site posted the draw. No seeding numbers. I'll come back and fix it. Wackiest thing I've ever seen.

Perhaps they will draw the seed numbers out of a hat to make the tournament more exciting.
