MELBOURNE, Australia – Even though it feels like there haven’t been that many upsets on the women’s side, just 10 of the 16 seeds (on paper) have made it to the third round in this top half.

And that means only two of the eight encounters are between seeded players.

Even though they’re hardly old, Madison Keys vs Victoria Azarenka feels pretty old school, doesn’t it? Azarenka got through.

Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of Eastern time.
