–

Leylah Fernandez made her 2024 Madrid debut late in the day, and she didsn’t have a pushover opponent in Russia’s Anastasia Potapova. But after a slow start, the Canadian started producing some quality tennis, and will play Ons Jabeur in the third round.

Cana-Kiwi Erin Routliffe, who isn’t playing with regular partner Gabriela Dabrowski this week, teamed up with young American Ashlyn Krueger this week but went down to Miami Open champs Mattek-Sands and Kenin in a tough one.

Players like Naomi Osaka, Donna Vekic, Sloane Stephens and more had to back to back, having played their first-round matches on Wednesday. Only Stephens came through.

Iga Swiatek went bakery. So did Coco Gauff.
