OK, Selekhmeteva – who I can’t say I’ve seen play before, so that’s exciting – nabs back a break off Kostyuk, but then finds herself down set point, on serve. Though she’s found her lefty game the last few minutes, she’s got to be more consistent and take more risks to tax a player as good as her opponent. Gosh, and a seventh double of the game means she’s now down advantage.
So what matches to watch? Let’s start with Karen Khachanov, the no 13 seed, who leads Arthur Gea, a qualifier, 4-0; Marta Kostyuk (15), who leads Oksana Selekhmeteva 5-1; and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina’s tussle with Damir Dzumhur, currently 3-4 on serve.
