–

A few shockers on Day 3 as well as three players who certainly had shots at medals go down.

Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek and Petra Kvitova are all out – Swiatek in straight sets to the increasingly impressive Paula Badosa of Spain, unseeded in this event.

Sabalenka v Vekic was a real tussle, during which Vekic looked the more affected of the two by the extreme weather conditions, but never stopped battling.
