FLUSHING MEADOWS, NY – Third-round matches can be fascinating if everyone makes the date.

Because throw the No. 9-16, and No. 17-24 seeds into a big jumble, and see what comes out. Most of those matchups are, level-wise, as close as you can get.

Samsonova-Keys, and Vondrousova-Alexandrova are perfect examples of that.

The women’s matches on Ashe look to be pretty intriguing on paper, too, though.
