FLUSHING MEADOWS, NY – The first round is done, and it already feels quieter.

But the two women’s offerings on Ashe Stadium Wednesday are fire – teen v teen, and 30-something vs newly unretired 30-something, both of whom are former Grand Slam champions.

And the two matches on Court 17 are also pretty promising.

And the schedulers have a sense of humour, as both of the Wangs – Xiyu and Xinyu, are on back to back on the same court for the second straight round.
