I really should have studied the draws before predicting, only the 3rd round in play and I have two women left after Gauff beat Osaka .

Millman-Federer game was fantastic. Not sure how Federer can still play like this.

Why is the women's draw so much harder to predict than the men's?
Top 10 ranked women get through round 3 for first time in 13 years and then 6 get knocked out in round 4, most against unranked or lower ranked opponents .

French back
Next scheduled event, the French Open, has been moved to September as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
It was due to be played from 24 May to 7 June, but instead will take place between 20 September and 4 October.
This means it begins just one week after the completion of the US Open in New York.
All professional tennis across the world is currently suspended until at least 20 April.

Surely it would have made more sense to hold Wimbledon rather than this (I know, might struggle with weather at this time of year, but it always rains in NY anyway!)
