–
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – With No. 1 seed Daniil Medvedev and No. 4 Rafael Nadal in the same half of the men’s singles draw, every second day is going to be kind of top-heavy, with few stadium spots left for the rest.
But Denis Shapovalov got Stadium 2 (he preceded countrywoman Leylah Fernandez there). And after a slowish start against a feisty opponent, he prevailed in three and will now play Reilly Opelka.
