–

There are seven players, including Denis Shapovalov, who knew Sunday evening when they would play.

But they didn’t know WHO they would play, as all of them were facing qualifier or lucky losers, as the final round was going on in Madrid.

Shapovalov finally made his spring clay debut – and impressed in a straight-sets win over Ugo Humbert.
