1st upset of Thursday goes to Osaka. She knocked off Svitolina in straights. Who else goes down tonight?

I like this young lady. She had a powerful game. If she keeps training and working hard she could break into the top 50 or better. At 5'11, Osaka kind of remind me of Pliskova.

Thanks for the update, it's good to hear about rising stars from underrepresented countries.:clap

Funny, her profile at AO site says:

Year turned pro: N/A

So, I guess she is still not a professional player.;)

Yes Lisiki is gone. She won't lose any points as she got bounced from the 1st round last year.

17 seeds gone after two rounds. That must be a record. Serena had better take Daria seriously from the first point so as to avoid being included in this thread.

This is embarrassing. Out of 32 seeded players, only a maximum of 15 can reach 3rd round (there are still 5 more matches to go). So, there were more seeds who went home than who made it to R3.

Timea Bacsinszky, seeded #11, is also gone, taken out in straight sets.

After four days, the carnage includes 18 seeded players (out of 32).

Among seeds numbered #17 and above, only three made it to R3: Ana Ivanovic, Kristina Malendovic and Makarova.
