–
Disappointed in singles, Leylah Fernandez still has women’s doubles with Taylor Townsend, and mixed as well.
She and Townsend got going Friday (in a winning vein), as did Cana-Kiwi Erin Routliffe and partner Alexa Guarachi, who lost a tough one.
And the No. 1 women’s doubles team – Krejcikova and Siniakova – were supposed in action. But Krejcikova retired, in the second set against young Russian Mirra Andreeva. And they withdrew.
(Wimbledon is five hours ahead of EDT).
