–

The round of 64 wrapped up on Saturday, with top seed Aryna Sabalenka, No. 3 seed Jasmine Paolini (yes, it takes a little getting used to to see the Italian as the No. 3 seed at a WTA 1000), Vekic, Keys, Haddad Maia, Krejcikova and Kasatkina all opening their tournament.

And No. 5 seed Zheng Qinwen, the top Chinese women player, got to show off her moves on the big Diamond Court.

Canadian Leylah Fernandez, eliminated in her singles opener by Peyton Stearns, will try to make a run in doubles with Aldila Sutjiadi and they got through their first one.
