–
Everything has been on time, with perfect weather, as the women’s qualifying comes down to the final round.
There will be no Canadian content, as Rebecca Marino playing her second-round match late but had a surprising loss to Arianne Hartono of the Netherlands.
But with all the upsets, only 11 of the original 32 seeds (who, on paper, should make this final round) remain.
Keep an eye out for Julieta Pareja of the San Diego area, who is just 15 and already has posted two wins.
And for comeback kid (again) Ana Konjuh.
