–
The 28-player draws in Doha and Marseille tend to backload the top players in the field.
And so, that’s why a player like Andy Murray is handy, as a good night-session draw on the Monday.
The No. 5, No. 6 and No. 8 seeds are somewhat less so. But they were the only seeds in action in Doha.
In Marseille, with a big contingent of French players, the situation was a little less dire.
And yes, for these purposes we’ll call Franco-American Maxime Cressy a local.
(Doha is eight hours ahead of ET, Marseille six hours ahead, and Rio two hours ahead)
