–

Not a ton of drama on Day 3 as out of all the seeds advancing, only one even lost a set.

Even the upsets (Anisimova over Bencic, Kostyuk over Sorribes Tormo), didn’t feel like upsets.

The only dramatic moment was when poor Harmony Tan, having taken a set off Elina Svitolina, had to retire and left the court in a wheelchair.
