The second round of qualifying wraps up, with more singles matches for the women than the men.
A few interesting clashes involving American women are on the docket.
And Mirjam Bjorklund – also known as Denis Shapovalov’s better half – built on her win Tuesday, beat No. 30 seed Arina Rodionova and now is in the final round.
