At this Stage

An all-Ukrainian opener with a lopsided billing — No. 8 seed against world No. 77 — went the wrong way for the seedings. Daria Snigur beat Elina Svitolina 7-5 6-2, and the scoreline hides the strangest part: Svitolina led 4-0 before the match swung and never swung back. For the draw it meant a top-eight seed gone before the tournament had properly started, and this section suddenly open ground. Snigur moved on to a last-64 meeting with the French qualifier Léolia Jeanjean — a match she has since won in straight sets, proof the upset was no one-afternoon wonder.
