Another surprising result (at least for me) is Murray defeating Etcheverry and going further into the Round of 32! Very nice performance by the British veteran! He is going to meet Machac tonight.

Bad news for Andy Murray fans because he announced that he was injured again so he will be out for some time and that is quite unfortunate.

Iga Swiatek shockingly loses to world no. 16th Alexandrova. Odds on Alexandrova to win were over 8x.

It is almost impossible for a player to continue winning even though she is a great player because previously Iga also experienced the same thing, she was very impressive at the Doha Open but lost at the Dubai Open, and a repeat where she won the Indian Wells without dropping a single set but lost early to a player who was not taken into account able to do it.
I watched the match and I could see how frustrated Iga was against Alexandrova, especially in the second set, the game of the world number one player got worse and made a lot of mistakes.

Talking about unexpected losses, Musetti beats American teenage sensation Ben Shelton in straight sets.

It's a shame that Musetti failed to provide strong resistance to Alcaraz so he was knocked out as I think he would be a fairly even opponent for Alcaraz to at least take a set but that didn't happen, and Alcaraz will face Dimitrov in quarter-final.

In the women's section after Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff were eliminated, Elena Rybakina will be the favorite but her performance has not been very convincing so far because she has had to face three-set matches several times including beating Maria Sakkari, and the player who has been very impressive so far is Danielle Collins just lost one set and facing Caroline Garcia in the quarterfinals will be an even match if Caroline Garcia continues to perform as well as in her previous match.
Jessica Pegula against Alexandrova will also be evenly matched and the American is the favorite for advance to semifinals but it won't be easy seeing as how Alexandrova can beat Iga Swiatek before.
