Most notably, Sloane Stephens blasted her way through the first 3 rounds, defeating former top-five players Angelique Kerber and Svetlana Kuznetsova. She then took on rival and world No. 1 Serena Williams, putting on a high-quality game that eventually went to Williams, 6-7(3), 6-2, 6-2.

Seventh seeded Genie Bouchard also cruised into the 4th round, beating local favorite CoCo Vandeweghe along the way. Her final round went to Lesia Tsurenko after three hard fought sets.
