Sixteen players left and every match is a real contest — this is the point where the tournament stops being a festival and starts being a fight, with most play consolidated onto the show courts.
What to expect
Play concentrates on Ashe, Armstrong and the Grandstand. Expect long matches; a session can run well past its scheduled window.
