–
Some 24 of the 32 total second round of the men’s qualifying go Wednesday. And while there look to be some competitive matches, there also are a lot of rather obscure South Americans that most people haven’t heard much from on hard courts.
That’s sort of how it is – but about two-thirds of the players are from Europe.
There are two Americans, and no Canadians – at least none currently representing the country.
