–

The original plans were for Denis Shapovalov to play Bastad, and for Félix Auger-Aliassime to play Hamburg.

Obviously, their runs deep into the second week of Wimbledon scuttled those plans.

But Vasek Pospisil stayed on grass and returns to North American to play Newport and if the singles didn’t go well – he lost, then announced he had to skip the Olympics – he did reach the doubles final.

Pospisil’s fellow member of the class of 1990, Rebecca Marino, won a $25,000 ITF tournament in Evansville, Indiana.

And Peter Polansky reached the singles semis and doubles final at a Challenger in Kazakhstan.

Good week overall.
