Marketa Vondorousova and Karolina Muchova is an unpredictable clash that should stand out in the round of 16 matches, especially as the former claimed the scalp of Tunisian Ons Jabeur in the last round for the second time this year.

No. 10 seed Elena Rybakina and Varvara Gracheva, who stunned Daria Kasatkina in the previous round, will go against each other. The meeting between no. 7 seed Maria Sakkari and Karolina Pliskova, seeded No. 17, is one to watch out for good tennis between both players.

Another highly anticipated match is N0. 3 seed Jessica Pegula and No. 15 seed Petra Kvitova, as both players are expected to give a classic for a spot in the next round, while no. 6 seed Coco Gauff is the favourite to overcome the challenges posed by Swede Rebecca Peterson.
