The women are already into the third round. And Coco Gauff found herself in another pickle she was able extricate herself from – it seems as though she has to do far too much of that, for her talent level.
Looking out for Zheng v Ostapenko, and also an all-American clash between Iva Jovic and Taylor Townsend.
