–

Not as deep of a schedule Saturday as the first round winnowed out half the players. Still, Paula Badosa vs Simona Halep was a fascinating second-round encounter on paper. In practice, it was a rout by Halep, with a very tense Badosa needing treatment on her right shoulder, not for the first time over the last year.

As well, Leylah Fernandez teamed up with Katerina Siniakova in doubles and shocked the Australian Open finalists, Haddad Maia and Danilina in a comeback win.
