–

The question after Tuesday was whether wild card Marina Stakusic, who won her first match at the WTA 1000 level Tuesday despite a calf issue, would be good to go for her second-round match Thursday against lucky loser Taylor Townsend.

Stakusic withdrew from the doubles later Wednesday, which was to be expected. She was … not good to go. Neither was Leylah Fernandez.

And neither was Naomi Osaka, ousted in straight sets by Elise Mertens.
