On a Wednesday in the desert last March, Reilly Opelka, the American with a cannon of a serve, was grinding out a tough match against French number one Arthur Rinderknech. Nearby, former US Open men's finalist Kei Nishikori beat Luca Nardi, part of the new wave of Italian talent, while Brazilian phenom Joao Fonseca closed out Pavel Kotov, who reached number 50 in the world in 2024.

I don't really feel like there is a lot of house money or underdog mentality that I'm feeling, because I don't feel like I have been playing anything outside of my comfort zone or outside of my normal level, Jovic said. I have come from two other tournaments where I was playing every day and winning a lot of matches, as well.

These teenagers are testing me in the last couple of rounds, said Sabalenka, who has now reached at least the semi-finals at 12 of the last 13 grand slams she has contested. She's an incredible player, it was a tough match don't look at the score, it wasn't easy at all. I'm super happy with the win, it was a tough battle.
