The top half of the men’s draw also was in the third round.
But in their case, a few more missing names.
Just nine of the 16 seeds were playing. And the only “textbook” meeting happened to feature No. 1 seed Carlos Alcaraz and No. 32 seed Sebastian Korda.
And it was a pretty huge upset, notwithstanding that a young Korda got the same kind of raves for his potential as Jannik Sinner did. But it’s taken a while and battling through a few injuries to show this kind of level. He truly played a blinder.
