Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Only one seed in action at the 500 in Rotterdam Monday. But Wawrinka v Bublik, and Dimitrov v Karatsev have good potential.

As it happens, the unlikely duo of Wawrinka and Bublik are also teaming up for doubles this week.

They get the tough No. 2 seeds, Mektic and Pavic (who was sporting a pretty big wrap around his left elbow and above and below it in practice) in the first round.

In Delray Beach, rising young American star Ben Shelton sees his first action since the Australian Open, in doubles with countryman Mackenzie McDonald.
