Olga Danilovic’s Ascendancy
Olga Danilovic, ranked 55th, has been one of the tournament’s standout performers. She began with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Arantxa Rus and then delivered an impressive 6-1, 6-2 victory against 25th seed Liudmila Samsonova. Danilovic’s most notable achievement came in the third round, where she upset seventh seed Jessica Pegula with a 7-6(1), 6-1 win, marking her first appearance in the fourth round of a non-clay Grand Slam.
