–
The tricky part of 28-player draws is that the top four seeds often don’t start until Thursday.
That’s a lot of waiting around. And as a result, three of the four top seeds in Nur-Sultan went down in their opening matches.
Only the local, No. 2 seed Alexander Bublik, survived. And even he had to pull off a comeback win, 7-5 in the third set.
