Keys moves on to fourth round

Madison Keys won against Ana Ivanovic in three sets in a match which was overshadowed by Ivanovic's coach Nigel Sears collapsing mid match. With the Serb a set up, Sears appeared to collapse whilst making his way up the stairs. With the match suspended pending news on Sears conditions, both players were given the option to postpone the match until the next day.

After confirmation that Sears was conscious the match resumed. Keys managed to fight back in the second set to take the match into a final set. Ivanovic started the set the better of the two taking a break lead before Keys again fought back to take the lead in the set before serving out the match.
