This round of 16 for the top half of the draw has just … three of the top 18 seeds in this half still alive.
Missing: Carlos Alcaraz, Alex de Minaur, Ben Shelton, Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud, Flavio Cobolli, Karen Khachaov, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Luciano Darderi.
That might make the road easier for the three top-six seeds remaining. But at this point, who even knows. But No. 6 Taylor Fritz is out.
