The rules<\/p>\n
The last 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals will be best of three sets, but first to four games not six. If a game goes to deuce, the winners of the next point take it \u2013 there\u2019s no advantage. If a match is level at a set apiece, a 10-point match tiebreak will settle it.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a>Share<\/a><\/p>\n Breaking:<\/strong> Danielle Collins and Christian Harris replace Sinner\/Siniakova.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n On which point,<\/strong> the reason for the TBD below is that Jannik Sinner, who retired ill when 5-0 down to Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in the Cincinnati final, has pulled out.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n I can\u2019t lie, I\u2019m buzzing that we\u2019ve got two extra days of banging tennis. <\/strong>This competition should just feature the best mixed doubles pairings, not the best singles players who can be arsed.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Email! <\/strong>\u201cI agree, its money-fuelled tokenism and could cause the end of doubles as we know it at the major tournaments, says Andrew Benton. \u201cOr, it might be the start of a doubles revival, from which the specialists will benefit particularly \u2013 at least people will be watching these matches as they feature the rich and famous, and who knows where that extra interest and investment could lead. Well, probably nowhere. But it\u2019s a bit like the Hundred.\u201d<\/p>\n I disagree it\u2019s like the Hundred as that isn\u2019t taking a major tournament away from those who play the event best. I also don\u2019t believe doubles needs gimmicks \u2013 it just needs to be marketed and respected properly. Henry Patten was really good on this when I interviewed him in May.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n The winners \u2013 we\u2019ll know who they are tomorrow \u2013 will earn $1m, <\/strong>fives times more than went to last year\u2019s champions. According to BBC, appearance fees are north of $50,000, or in other words, the players involved are competing to get paid and to prepare for their singles campaigns, not because they\u2019re motivated to win a grand slam.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019ve not the slightest clue how the seeding works<\/strong>, but it\u2019s worth noting that Errani\/Vavassori, included as a sop to sporting merit \u2013 they\u2019re the defending champions \u2013 have not been so honoured.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Order of play<\/p>\n Ashe<\/strong><\/p>\n Naomi Osaka\/Ga\u00ebl Monfils v Caty McNally\/Lorenzo Musetti (4pm BST)<\/p>\n Iga Swiatek\/Casper Ruud (3) v Madison Keys\/Francis Tiafoe (not before 5pm BST)<\/p>\n Winners meet in quarter-final<\/p>\n Jessica Pegula\/Jack Draper (1) v Emma Raducanu\/Carlos Alcaraz (not before 7pm BST)<\/p>\n Olga Danilovic\/Novak Djokovic v Mirra Andreeva\/Daniil Medvedev<\/p>\n Winners meet in quarter-final<\/p>\n **<\/p>\n Armstrong<\/strong><\/p>\n Sara Errani\/Andrea Vavassori v Elena Rybakina\/Taylor Fritz (2)<\/p>\n Venus Williams\/Reilly Opelka v Karolina Muchov\u00e1 v Andrey Rublev<\/p>\n Winners meet in quarter-final<\/p>\n Taylor Townsend\/Ben Shelton v Amanda Anisimova\/Holger Rune (not before 5.30pm BST)<\/p>\n TBD v Belinda Bencic\/Alexander Zverev<\/p>\n Winners meet in quarter-final<\/p>\n
