PARIS –  The rest of the top half of the draw – including No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and No. 3 Novak Djokovic, finished up Monday.

And the Canadian content kicked in – both early – especially Denis Shapovalov – which doesn’t help much back home (and there will be some overlap).

Auger-Aliassime got sick Sunday night, and was a shadow of what he can be. Shapovalov who had been dealing with a knee injury, found out he could play 3h47 in victory.
