–

TORONTO – A ridiculously loaded order of play on Wednesday means that players like Andrey Rublev, Andy Murray and new Canadian rising star Gabriel Diallo were on the … third court.

Only Murray survived, and only just.

It was the day Carlos Alcaraz jumped into the draw. And the day that 32-year-old Milos Raonic tried to get to the third round against Japan’s Taro Daniel. And did.
