There are 19 tiebreaks in the Open Section and 9 in the Women’s on Wednesday, with just 11 players who lost on Day 1 managing to come back on Day 2, including favourites Vadim Zvjaginsev, Anna Ushenina and Pauline Guichard. 12-year-old Abhimanyu Mishra is out, with his conqueror Baadur Jobava’s match against Sam Shankland one of the highlights to come in Round 2.
