BRISBANE, Australia – A couple of good matches to look forward to, including Ons Jabeur vs. young Mirra Andreeva. Which turned out – good, not great.

In Auckland, Naomi Osaka survived a first-set loss to Hailey Baptiste, who had foot issues that likely were a hangover from her marathon in the second round and couldn’t keep up the level.

But one quarterfinal didn’t finish, and another didn’t start. So there will be some doubling up in Auckland on Saturday.
