17 yo Mirra Andreeva upset Iga from a break down, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 for her fifth career Top 10 victory. Her backhand DTL was extremely effective.
The teen had 10 aces to none for Iga, and held the Iga to only 51.1% points won on her supposedly improved first serve. Both players held 8 BPs, but but Mirra converted 4, Iga only 1.
Game "featured" a bad example of using video replay to check on whether Mirra touched the net. She had but the review stopped play for several mintues.
Both of the WTA's top 2 ranked players are out of the event. Sabalenka going out earlier to Tauson.
