–

The top two seeds in Sofia – Jannik Sinner and Gaël Monfils, finally were to take the court after a first-round bye.

Sinner got through; Monfils didn’t even have to take the court.

In San Diego, Denis Shapovalov escaped a tight first set to get through against Taylor Fritz. Meanwhile, Auger-Aliassime’s match against Grigor Dimitrov was to be late-night viewing back home. But he pulled out late with an upper-leg injury.
