- Shuko Aoyama and Liang En‑shuo upset the No.5‑seeded team of Elena Ostapenko and Erin Routliffe on Friday to move into the doubles third round.
- Iga Świątek won her third‑round match in straight sets to advance to the fourth round, keeping one of the tournament’s top seeds on track.
- Novak Djokovic, who had been in the draw, was reported to have lost his third‑round match on Friday, a result that opens the men’s bracket to younger contenders.
