MELBOURNE, Australia – The top three seeds are still alive in Hobart. And none of them are meeting fellow seeds in the quarter-final stages.

In Adelaide, a lot of late-night tennis as many of the players are involved in both singles and doubles.

But the astonishing Jelena Ostapenko is into the final eight, as is No. 2 seed Jessica Pegula, who had to play just one match so far because she and Elena Rybakina received performance byes in the first round.

(Adelaide is 15 1/2 hours ahead of EST; Hobart is 16 hours)
