There were 29 matches on the schedule for the women on Friday – pretty much all the seeds in the draw, as they attempt to catch up from the rain earlier in the week. In the end, six were cancelled.

But Canadian Victoria Mboko breezed. Leylah Fernandez, looking to try to start some sort of momentum streak, had her match postponed to Saturday.

Also – Indian Wells finalists Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina (who plays fellow Russian-turned-Kazakh and BJK Cup teammate Yulia Putintseva).
