WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tiafoe, Dimitrov, Hurkacz, Korda, Shelton were among the seeds in action as the players with numbers ahead of their names swing into action in D.C. Only the first three survived.
It’s a very tight sked – with a 48 player draw, there are six rounds and only seven days to play them. So they always have to pray for helpful weather (which usually doesn’t materialize).
Andy Murray hasn’t hit the court in singles yet. But played his quarterfinal doubles match with partner Dan Evans, another change to get match play on the courts.
Also: Kei Nishikori. Well, not Kei Nishikori in the end. He had issues with his left knee in Atlanta (ongoing, his whole career pretty much). And withdrew with that Tuesday morning.
In Kitzbuhel, Dominic Thiem will try once again to put some wins together, on his beloved clay. So far, so good on Tuesday.
(Kitzbuhel is six hours ahead of EDT; Washington is on EDT; Los Cabos is three hours behind)
