TORONTO – Not many seeds in action on Monday in Cincinnati.

But one of them was Félix Auger-Aliassime, who went down in his opener in Toronto and wass looking to bounce back and get some momentum before the US Open.

His problem is that among the dangerous floaters in the draw, he got one – Matteo Berrettini.

Not easy. But an encouraging win for the Canadian.

As for the rest of the schedule, it was shambles after persistent rain.
