–
Of the 16 seeds in the top half of the draw, 11 have survived as the seeds meet in the third round.
That’s pretty good.
The Naomi Osaka – Katie Volynets match was cancelled Sunday, and so was be played on Monday as will the conclusion of the suspended match involving Anna Kalinskaya and Peyton Stearns.
The main stadium has a retractable roof, but some of the outside courts were affected by the rain.
Beyond that, there were some good ones in store including No. 16 Vekic v No. 17 Andreeva, and Haddad Maia v Keys. Both ended up as minor upsets.
