–

Finally, and poignantly, the return of Juan Martin del Potro was be tonight in Buenos Aires. It was – even for the hardest of hearts – tough to watch, and yet at least, somehow, the best and most appropriate finale under the circumstances.

Nah, check that, it was tough to watch.

There was a lot of Canadian content as well – a lot of it not great, as Denis Shapovalov went down in the first round of singles.

But also great in that Félix Auger-Aliassime in doubles and Vasek Pospisil in singles got through.
