The third round begins Friday at the US Open (save for a few second-round matches held over after rain Thursday night).
And the top half of the draw remains Naomi Osaka’s to lose.
This preview peace takes a look at the odds for all eight of the clashes on the schedule, and a closer look at three of them.
