–

There have been some upsets. So even though today’s singles matches are third round – in theory, seed vs seed – it’s not happening in many cases.

There is at least one seeded player in every matchup but one – Tiafoe v Lehecka.

Carlos Alcaraz getting a shock from Gaël Monfils in his opener – postponed from Thursday – was just another shocker.

And of course, the match between between Félix Auger-Aliassime and Jack Draper was the biggest shocker.
