Main draw action begins on the bigger courts – including a tough for wild card Bianca Andreescu against fellow Grand Slam champion Sofia Kenin.
Andreescu is 4-2 agains Kenin, who won the very next Slam – the 2020 Australian Open – after Andreescu won the 2019 US Open.
They’ve already played once this year, in the second round of Charleston; Kenin won 6-4, 6-4 on the Har-Tru.
