–

Denis Shapoalov got through his opening match, after the disappointment of last Sunday’s final in Seoul, without too much drama.

Thursday, he got Japanese qualifier Rio Noguchi and dispatched him as well.

In Kazakhstan, Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev are both in action in their second-round matches. And things went just fine there as well.
