–

For those who are not at the Olympics, this is the only game in town this week. And there’s some good stuff, with Emma Raducanu getting the night session slot on Monday and gritting out a late-night, three-set win over Elise Mertens.

Also – Sloane Stephens against fellow American Amanda Anisimova, who went through the qualifying. And won.

Paula Badosa and Ons Jabeur hit the doubles court (for Jabeur, a fairly rare occurrence).
