Third round for the top half of the draw, as the tournament gets back on schedule (and the forecast going forward looks good).

Of the 16 original seeds, 13 have survived, which is somewhat surprising given it feels like there have been a fair number upsets.

And their form showed; of the eight matches, five were legitimate upsets. The only three through were the three top seeds in action: Sabalenka, Rybakina and Pegula.

For Fernandez, it was a desultory loss against Pegula. She was overmatched, and leaves another tournament asking herself questions.
