The third round, often my favorite round of a Slam, begins today. This third round is no exception. No need for highlights. I want to see all of these matches, especially the one between the unseeded women, both of whom I've never seen play before.

I see a few big upsets. Hoping for a few more than I see.

Kraa, you resident seer, are you there?
