–

Early to rise for the Bianca Andreescu – Petra Martic match, which ended up going straight sets to Andreescu.

Beyond that, there were not many spine-tinglers, although there were upsets: Danielle Collins and (late Thursday night) Paula Badosa both went out.

For Badosa, the No. 2 player in the world, that’s two early exits at these clay-court 1000s this spring. She’s going through some things, apparently.
