They're just getting started with the doubles matches now, so they're about 90 minutes behind schedule. If that holds throughout the day, we can expect the Round of 32 singles matches today to start about noon, with the Round of 16 matches to follow around 3:00pm.Â
UPDATE: Doubles started in a staggered fashion, so they're even further behind. Lord's singles match just started at about 12:15 or so, and doubles is still going strong on most courts.
Both Stanford doubles teams handled their business, moving onto the Round of 16. Arbuthnott/Gordon caught a bit of a break when ×ÉÉ's Bright/Glozman lost their Round of 32 match this morning, meaning that they're now the only seed remaining in their quarter of the bracket.
As for singles, it was smooth sailing in the round of 32. No one lost more than 3 games total in a match, and they all advance to play what should be tougher opponents in the Round of 16. The results post above has the seeds of each opponent, but rankings-wise, #7 Lord plays #78 Sangwan, #44 Higuchi plays unranked Anna Bright (though freshmen are all unranked in the preseason), #69 Arbuthnott plays #89 Whittle, unranked Gordon (though she's the #2 "newcomer") plays unranked Katerina Stloukalova, and unranked Shin plays #48 Tobita. I'd expect Lord, Higuchi, and Gordon to all win, while the Arbuthnott match should be close, and Shin winning would be a very welcome upset.Â
