Burrage won 80 percent of her first-service points to win her first-ever meeting with Badosa, the world No. 4.

Third seed Maria Sakkari of Greece also fell, with Ukraine’s Anhelina Kalinina prevailing 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 despite Sakkari serving seven aces and saving 6 of 10 break points.

Kazakh ninth seed Elena Rybakina and Belgian 13th seed Elise Mertens each lost in three sets.

Another Brit, Harriet Dart, split the first two sets with 10th seed Jil Teichmann of Switzerland before their match was suspended due to darkness.
