Sakkari, No. 9 in the world, and Kasatkina, No. 12 in the world, were out of the tournament and missed the round of 16.

- 2 big names are out of the game
World No.9 Sakkari finally broke the curse of a first-round tour of this year's Grand Slam tournament and advanced to the third round after two straight wins. In the third round, Sakkari's opponent was wild card Raducanu. Raducanu, ranked 135th in the world, has not had any impressive performances since winning the US Open, dropping to just over 100 in the rankings.
In this game, Sakkari's serve was not in good shape, he did not play the advantage of strength, and the unforced errors were as high as 31, and the whole court was at a disadvantage. Raducanu, on the other hand, was the complete opposite, excelling in serve, return and attack, and made exceptionally few turnovers. Raducanu won comfortably 6-2, 6-3 after breaking four serve times to advance to the round of 16.
World No. 12 Kasatkina was in great form in the first two rounds, winning 6-0 in a row to advance to the third round. In the third round, Kasatkina faced world No. 93 Badosa. The two battled in three sets, which took 2 hours and 50 minutes, and Kasatkina lost 6-7, 6-4, 4-6 to miss the round of 16.
- Gauff leads the way with 3 American players
Gauff is ranked No. 2 in the world, and with Sabalenka's retirement, she is the favourite in the bottom half of the bracket. Today's match is against the big dark horse Qatar, and the opponent's strength is quite strong. In the first set, Gauff and his opponent faced off and narrowly won 6-4. In the second set, Gauff defeated his opponent and won 6 games in a row to win 6-0 easily and successfully advanced to the round of 16.
Keith is getting better and better, and his opponent in the third round is Ukrainian fierce woman Kostyuk. Keys overpowered his opponent and won in straight sets 6-4, 6-3 to advance. Rising star Navarro withstood the pressure and battled Russia's Schneider in three sets to advance 2-1. The U.S. Legion won three spots in the round of 16 in the bottom half of the tournament and became the biggest winner.
In the other three matches, Chinese player Zhu Lin lost in the tie-break in both sets, and lost 0-2 to qualifier Sun Lulu, missing the chance to go further. No.7 seed Paulini is too solid now, beating Grand Slam champion Andreescu 7-6, 6-1 to advance. Vekic and No. 28 seed Astremska battled three sets to advance 2-1.
