–

Iga Swiatek, Paula Badosa, Ons Jabeur and Aryna Sabalenka got their first singles action of the tournament Wednesday.

In Badosa’s case, she was moved to a smaller court for her match vs Ajla Tomljanovic because of rain delays, and the length of the Rafael Nadal match. And went down in her opener.

And Gabriela Dabrowski booked a quarterfinal berth in doubles.
