A source of constant grief in Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova’s career had been her inability to reach a Grand Slam semifinal. Less than a month from turning 30, the Russian achieved this long-awaited dream after going the extra innings against Elena Rybakina and winning 6-7, 6-2, 9-7.

Zidansek started the campaign with her career’s maiden top 10 shocker, grounding world no. 7 Bianca Andreescu, 6-7, 7-6, 9-7 in three hours and 20 minutes. She played another extended deciding set against former junior champion Paula Badosa in the last round, going up 7-5, 4-6, 8-6.
