–
Alexander Zverev takes the court in Bastad, while Stan Wawrinka plays in his homeland, in the evening match in Gstaad against the tough Roberto Carballes Baena.
Bastad also had Swedish wild card Elias Ymer vs. Swedish wild card … Leo Borg.
Yes, son of Bjorn. Who earned his first ATP-level main-draw win the day after Ymer’s brother Mikael found the hammer laid down on an 18-month “whereabouts” suspension.
Four Argentines took the court in Bastad as well: Baez, Coria, Etcheverry and Cerundolo.
And in Newport, young Canadian Gabriel Diallo was the opponent for the comebacking Kevin Anderson first match back from retirement. And Anderson, who is now 37, looked awfully good.
(Gstaad and Bastad are six hours ahead of EDT; Newport is on EDT)
