More seeds get into the mix in Bastad, including guys like Holger Rune who had a terrible Wimbledon (and didn’t have a better Bastad)

As well, Dominic Thiem (who didn’t bother with Wimbledon and played a Challenger last week) was on court as a wild card.

And he had a fairly tough customer in Emil Ruusuvuori of nearby Finland. Somehow, he got through it, in a third-set tiebreak that ended with a Ruusuvuori double fault.

In Newport, Félix Auger-Aliassime got his grass feet wet again in doubles, and got through easily with partner Benjamin Bonzi.
