–

Some rain making up to do, as Sabalenka/Samsonova and Kvitova/Bencic had to play their third round matches, before the winners meet in the quarterfinals later in the evening.

Same thing on the doubles side, where two matches were also cancelled.

All things considered, it could have been worse. Except that it all ended at … 3 a.m.
