Welcome to day 13, a day in which we are scheduled to see the women’s first, third and fifth seeds as well as the men’s second, third and sixth seeds, plus of course a few of the unexpected successes that have been a feature of this tournament: Martina Trevisan, the 26-year-old world No159, plays Kiki Bertens, the Dutchwoman who was wheeled off court after beating another Italian, Sara Errani, in three gruelling sets in round two but was then entirely untroubled in easing through round three. Sebastian Korda, the 20-year-old world No213, qualifier and son of Petr, plays Rafael Nadal for the first time. Plus the weather forecast is quite good (unlike tomorrow, when it is horrid).
