–

Félix Auger-Aliassime finally gets his Madrid Open under way – one of the latest of all the men to finally get on court.

And he faced a Cristian Garin who was not up to the task, as the Canadian dropped just three games en route to victory.

It was nearly 11:30 p.m. Madrid time Wednesday when Stefanos Tsitsipas became the last man to win his opening singles match.
