–

After surviving – this is not too strong a word – having the kitchen sink being thrown at her by Tamara Korpatch in the first round, young Mirra Andreeva gets No. 9 seed Sloane Stephens in the second round.

Stephens looked … hungry in her first-round win. And when she looks like that, big things can happen. But she will have to wait until Thursday.
