But it was a different story for current number one Osaka, who quit early in the third set with a left knee injury against Sofia Kenin, with the American advancing 6-4, 1-6, 2-0. After one game of the third set, she called for the physio, who spent nearly 10 minutes in examining the problem left knee.

Serving for the match at 5-4 in the second set, Pliskova was broken. Kuznetsova dominated the ensuing tiebreaker and took charge in the third set as Pliskova began to fade. “I made a few simple adjustments, making her play a few more balls,” said Barty, who fired 29 winners and converted six of 14 break point chances.
