–

Three smaller events on the ATP Tour this week means a lot of opportunities for points-grabbing in this last part of the season.

And on a somewhat unrelated note, where have you been, Jack Draper?

The British player who made some nice move this summer squares off against American Jenson Brooksby, about the same age, who made those moves earlier in the season but has tailed off.

And that showed on Monday.

Also – there are … court issues in Napoli.
