MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Zheng Qinwen vs. Naomi Osaka looked to be the most intriguing of all the fourth-round matches being played on Monday, as the week clicks over for this interminable two-week 1000s. And it was – until Sabalenka and Svitolina came along late at night.

Gauff-Badosa and Swiatek-Kerber also looked promising, and delivered on a few levels.

Leylah Fernandez, who had entered the WTA 125 in Paris this week, was still in the doubles and so was still in Rome. But her second-round doubles match was over quickly. And now she has nowhere to compete this week.

(Rome, Parma and Paris are 6 hours ahead of EDT))
