No, but I went with the apparently just as effective Alexandrova* and Kokkinakis double checked in a day strategy.

I know you must have been getting very excited at the possibility.
Yes, even though that was my pick!

Sloane should be the favorite, although she has been off the court for a while and was, certainly, busy with her wedding. But I don't see how Emma turns her latest losing streak around.

The top two bandwagons have made it through, but Leylah has let down more than just Canada.

34 participants should be very worried.

Giorgi (my pick) is through, but not without a typical Giorgi stretch.

Up 6-2, 5-2, she proceeded to lose four games in a row with a slew of double faults and first-ball errors and fall behind 0-30 at 5-6 before playing three excellent points (and getting one bad return error from Martincova) to hold and racing through the tiebreak.

Probably someone who picked before their day 2 pick played and then they lost?

Raducanu did a great job of stepping in and accelerating the pace..good to see..too many UFE from Sloane in the third set though..lack of match practice, probably
