–

Casper Ruud, disappointed in Miami, gota start on his favorite part of the season as he took on wild card Joao Sousa – who had huge crowd support at his home tournament. After losing the first set, he got it done.

The news wasn’t nearly as good in Marrakech and Houston – two cities far apart on the map, but both struggling with weather and getting almost nothing done.

(Houston is one hour behind EDT; Marrakech is four hours ahead, and Estoril is five hours ahead).
