2nd seed Karolína Plíšková (Czech Republic) dominated Madison Brengle (United States) to an easy two-set sweep. Her next opponent is qualifier Kristína Kučová (Slovakia).

With 5th seed Angelique Kerber (Germany) being eliminated already, the path is clear for Plíšcová to get to the semifinals. The next-best players by seed are 12th seed Anastasia Sevastova (Latvia) and 13th seed Caroline Wozniacki (Denmark).

American women are now 0-3 so far. Venus Williams is down early in her match and Sloane Stephens’ match is under way.
