–

A crew who played the San Diego tournament last week went west – landing in Seoul, Korea as ATP tennis returns there for the first time in more than 25 years.

Among them are Dan Evans, Jenson Brooksby and Steve Johnson – all of whom were in action Tuesday.

In Tel Aviv, Canadian Vasek Pospisil got in as a lucky loser, after being defeated in the second and final round of qualifying on Monday.

He met No. 8 seed Tallon Griekspoor and came through with a much-needed comeback win.
