–

Denis Shapovalov looked to make the Dubai quarterfinals with a very winnable match against qualifier Taro Daniel, and made it.

But if you’re going to get up early, the Andy Murray v Jannik Sinner contest could be the pick of the day.

And in Acapulco, the lineup once again was Medvedev, Nadal and then Tsitsipas on the stadium court. And it was pretty routine.
