Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Monday schedule is pretty quiet in Santiago, although Canadian-Chilean Alejandro Tabilo gets a night-session match.

In Dubai, some good ones: Alexander Zverev against 21-year-old Jiri Lehecka, who had a great Australian Open and made the semifinals last week.

Andrey Rublev will try to bounce back from last week.

And in Acapulco – Fritz v Isner is right first up, followed by Ben Shelton v Holger Rune.

They’re not messing around.

(Dubai is nine hours ahead of ET, Santiago two hours ahead and Acapulco one hour behind).
