–

A couple of upsets, as Denis Shapovalov goes down in straight sets to Lloyd Harris, and Aslan Karatsev loses in five to American rookie Jenson Brooksby.

And a couple of other matches went the distance – notably Jannik Sinner’s win over Gaël Monfils, which featured a couple of mini-comebacks in the third and fourth sets by the Frenchmen – but not in in the fifth.
