Alcaraz Moves Past Wu

Carlos Alcaraz defeated world No. 113 Wu Yibing in straight sets, though the Spaniard noted the match was not his "vintage" performance. Alcaraz, who will face American Tommy Paul in the fourth round, expressed satisfaction with his physical recovery and rhythm. During the match, Wu showed frustration, including a moment where he appeared unhappy with someone in his player box.

Sabalenka and Navarro Progress

Aryna Sabalenka overcame a challenge from Kamilla Rakhimova to reach the fourth round. During the match, she requested that the chair umpire address the strong smell of cannabis near the court, later stating that while she does not mind people relaxing, it is difficult to compete under those conditions. Meanwhile, Emma Navarro reached the fourth round for the second consecutive year by defeating Karolina Muchova in straight sets.

Noskova and Li Battle

Linda Noskova secured a place in the fourth round after a hard-fought three-set victory against Ann Li. The match, played on Stadium 17, saw a rowdy atmosphere that prompted Noskova to use fingers-in-the-ears tactics to maintain focus. Noskova is set to face Marta Kostyuk in the next round.
