FLUSHING MEADOWS, NY – Half the seeds are gone in the top half of the women’s draw.

But some serious contenders remain, including defending champion Iga Swiatek.

Muchova v Townsend was an all-court-tennis lover’s delight.

Wozniacki v Brady was another good one.

The Woz sure does get great court assignments, doesn’t she.
