MELBOURNE, Australia – Iga Swiatek, defending champion Madison Keys and Amanda Anisimova have matches on Thursday that COULD prove to be big challenges. We’ll have to tune in to see.

And Jessica Pegula does do – she’s playing her doubles partner McCartney Kessler.

On the plus side, whatever happens, they won’t have to share a court again; the two were beaten by Canadian Gaby Dabrowski and her partner Luisa Stefani Wednesday in the first round of women’s doubles.
