–

While Barcelona has a lot of Spanish content to get through on Pista Rafa Nadal (including the career finale of Tommy Robredo), Belgrade gets right to it.

The qualifying wraps up. But a first-rounder involving No. 5 seed Cristian Garin and the rising Holger Rune probably was the must-see of the day. Except, in the end, it was a rout.
