Ignoring any results thus far this morning, the Final 32 are set for the men's and women's sides.
Four American men are left in the draw. For what it's worth, no country has more players left in the men's draw -- only France also has four (Tsonga, Humbert, Paire and Pouille):
Reilly Opelka v. Raonic (15-seed) - playing right now
Sam Querrey v. Millman - play tomorrow
Tennys Sandgren v. Fognini (12-seed) - play tomorrow
Steve Johnson v. Nishikori (8-seed) - play tomorrow
Querrey should be favored, but it would take a significant upset for the others to advance. All four have already exceeded expectations.
We're got 6 women left (by far the most, by country -- 2nd most in Czech Republic w/ 3):
Allison Riske v. Bencic (13-seed) - play tomorrow
Serena Williams (11-seed) v. Goerges (18-seed) - play tomorrow
Lauren Davis v. Suarez Navarro (30-seed) - play tomorrow
Sloane Stephens (9-seed) v. Konta (19-seed) - play tomorrow
Danielle Collins v. Martic (24-seed) - play today
Coco Gauff v. Hercog - play today on Centre Court
Serena and Sloane are favored, although Sloane has a tough matchup against the seeded home favorite (Konta). I think it's kind of hard to predict Coco Gauff -- she's been dominant thus far. Will the magic wear off? She seems entirely capable of winning one more match -- then she would be a heavy underdog against with Halep or Azarenka in the R16. I suspect Riske, Davis and Collins are all substantial underdogs -- frankly though, seeding and underdog status is somewhat worthless in the women's tournament, where there is extraordinary parity.
