Qualifiers are flipping the script, the crowds are breaking records daily, and the WTA Next Gen is making a serious statement. We talk Alex Eala’s superstar support, Zeynep Sonmez’s red-and-white takeover, Bartunkova’s breakout, and the early upsets (plus a little Putinseva theater). Then we look ahead to a loaded Round 3 slate, including Quinn vs Mensik, Spizzirri vs Sinner, Baptiste vs Gauff, and Wawrinka vs Fritz.
