Novak Djokovic looked more like his old self as he dropped just seven games in beating Roberto Carballes Baena.

Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina joined Iga Swiatek in the third round with straightforward wins.

For the second round running, Sebastian Ofner overturned a two-set deficit to win in five.

Shock of the day

Danielle Collins had won 20 of her last 22 matches including tournament wins in Miami and Charleston. So the American 11th seed was a surprise second-round casualty against Serbian qualifier Olga Danilovic.
