Result
Liudmila Samsonova took out the No. 15 seed in the day's biggest women's upset by ranking, beating Diana Shnaider 6-4 4-6 6-2 on Court 12. The stat line was one-way traffic dressed up as a three-setter: Samsonova hit 30 winners to Shnaider's 10 and won 80% of her first-serve points, converting five of seven break chances. Shnaider's fight in the second set — where her returning briefly clicked — couldn't survive Samsonova's flat hitting in the decider. Samsonova, whose first tour title came on the grass of Berlin in 2021, next faces No. 21 seed Marie Bouzková.
