In the next match, No. 1-seed Serena Williams dominated against Su-Wei Hsieh, winning 6–1, 6–2 in 60 minutes. Serena hit 26 winners and seven aces on the match. No. 3-seed Roger Federer closed out the day session with a commanding 6–3, 7–5, 6–1 win over Alexandr Dolgopolov for his 299th Grand Slam victory.
