At this Stage
Maria Sakkari, unseeded here, made the seedings look like a clerical error. She beat No. 24 seed Clara Tauson 6-3 6-3 in 72 minutes with a break-point ledger that was simply absolute: three earned, three converted; five faced, five saved. It levelled their head-to-head at 1-1 and, more to the point, removed a seed from this section at the first opportunity. Sakkari's reward was a last-64 meeting with Kamilla Rakhimova, who had ground past Anhelina Kalinina in three sets across the way; Sakkari has since survived that one by the width of a deciding-set tiebreak. On this evidence, calling the win an upset felt like a technicality.
