Meanwhile, top seed Aryna Sabalenka and sixth seed Linda Noskova progressed to the next round, setting up a thrilling match between two power hitters. American fans had high hopes for the tournament, as seven home favorites were scheduled to compete, but defeats of Tommy Paul and Taylor Townsend dampened spirits. Frances Tiafoe also booked his place in the quarter-finals, defeating 2021 champion Daniil Medvedev 7-6(1) 6-4 7-6(6) to face Alex Michelsen, who eliminated Tomas Martin Etcheverry 7-6(6) 6-4 6-4.",
