A lot of seeds went out on Wednesday. But they were ousted by good players and so even if many of these third-round matchups feature unseeded players, they all (for the most part) have a shot at winning.
The only matchup that went to form was No. 6 Félix Auger-Aliassime vs. No. 9 Casper Ruud. The’ll be meeting for the eighth time; Auger-Aliassime leads 4-3, and has won the last three.
That includes a quarterfinal at Roland Garros during the 2024 Olympics, and one on clay in Madrid in 2022.
