Birthday blues
Lesia Tsurenko had an excellent Friday, finishing off a second-round victory over Aleksandra Krunic 11-9 in the deciding set.

"I think the main mental problem yesterday was that I had a birthday, and I'm now 30, and I had so many things in my head that I would say it was one of the worst days of my life," said Tsurenko.

Women: Karolina Pliskova (2), Elina Svitolina (9), Belinda Bencic (15), Elise Mertens (20), Carla Suarez Navarro (28).
Men: Lucas Pouille (22), David Goffin (27), Laslo Djere (31).
