–
Félix Auger-Aliassime was supposed to be back, to kick off his grass-court campaign in Halle, Germany. But he was a late withdrawal. Denis Shapovalov, who went out in the first round last week, was on hand and went out fairly speedily to Alexander Zverev.
Milos Raonic, who returned after nearly two years away in the Netherlands this week, headed to Queen’s Club this week. But he withdrew before his first-round match.
Bianca Andreescu took on Berlin, along with Genie Bouchard and Carol Zhao in the qualifying. She went out to Marketa Vondrousova, as she did in Rome.
But Rebecca Marino, as a lucky loser, made the quarterfinals in Birmingham.
And a whole new crop of players join the ITF Tour this week as well.

About Post Author
Is Ben Sigouin no longer playing singles, or can he not get into qualifying? Last week, he only played doubles, & this week is the same. Tks.
Are those the only options?
The only ones that came to mind. I figured if he was injured, he wouldn’t be playing doubles. My fan brain can’t think of any other reasons he wouldn’t be playing singles while your journalist brain obviously can. That’s why I really appreciate that we fans have you to turn to if we have any questions.
