Tokyo Olympic Event – Day 4 final results

–

They’re into the third round of the singles in Tokyo.

And if there have been few electric matches so far – Sabalenka v Vekic probably qualified on Monday – it ws sure to heat up.

No, we don’t mean that literally; the courts at Ariake have already heated up far more than is necessary.

It did. Bencic vs. Krejcikova was terrible. And Svitolina beating Maria Sakkari was dramatic.

And, of course, the upset of Naomi Osaka by Marketa Vondrousova.
