In stark contrast to Friday’s order of play when only one women’s match opened up proceedings at 11:30am, this morning there were three! I’ve been double streaming all week and began my main focus on Court No.2 where Garbiñe Muguruza was taking on Sorana Cirstea. The pair last met at the Australian Open where Muguruza won…
