–

Still just Thursday, and still only in the round of 16 for the women.

They’ll now have to play three matches in four days after basically dawdling their way through the first seven days.

Five of the eight players in singles are unseeded (or qualifiers). And one is the No. 31 seed (Linette). So there has been carnage.

The Cana-Kiwis, Dabrowski and Routliffe, are looking for a doubles semifinal spot against an unseeded but potentially tough team in homegirl Caty McNally and Linda Noskova. They’ve struggled to get through. But they’re here.

(Cincinnati is on EDT)
