Felix Auger-Aliassime has been struggling to find his top form. This match would test the Canadian, since [3] Alexander Zverev led their H2H 6:2. By rights Zverev should have won this encounter; however, Auger-Aliassime had other plans. One wonders what is going on with Zverev? He continues to underperform at the majors, which given his talent is surprising.

Felix Auger-Aliassime Gets A Little Revenge

American Winners On Day Seven

Magdalena Frech, who is ranked thirty-three, was not much of challenge for Gauff. [3] Coco Gauff used this match to continue ironing out the kinks in her serve. The American still had four double faults though, but at least it was less than ten. Gauff probably had more confidence today knowing that she led their H2H 2:0, without dropping a set. Today it was another one-sided victory for Gauff at 6-3, 6-1. [8] Amanda Anisimova had to maintain her focus to win this match in three sets. Jaqueline Cristian was equally determined to win this match; however, Anisimova won 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.

Today More Seeds Fell As Expected

[1] Jannik Sinner put an end to any belief [27] Denis Shapovalov had of upsetting him. After dropping the first set, Sinner righted his ship and sailed on to a 5-7, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 victory. [10] Lorenzo Musetti defeated his countryman, [24] Flavio Cobolli, through retirement. Musetti won 6-3, 6-2, 2-0. Cobolli retired due to injury. [14] Tommy Paul lost in five sets to [23] Alexander Bublik. The American fought back to even the match 2:2 but then fizzled in the final set. Bublik won 7-6(5), 6-7(4), 6-3, 6-7(5), 6-1.

[2] Iga Swiatek defeated [29] Anna Kalinskaya 7-6(2), 6-4.  [21] Linda Noskova could not get by her country woman, [11] Karolina Muchova. Despite winning the first set, Noskova made way too many double faults to win the match. Muchova won 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-2. [23] Naomi Osaka defeated [15] Daria Kasatkina 6-0, 4-6, 6-3.
