–

The rainout (not complete, but significant) Monday in Cincinnati meant a packed day today, as many players get on court for the first time, and Félix Auger-Aliassime was already scheduled to play his second-round match, against Adrian Mannarino. It … did not go well.

No surprise that Andy Murray, who withdrew late last week with an ab issue, also withdrew from Cincinnati – a lucky loser replaced him for an opening match against the returning Karen Khachanov – who also withdrew and was replaced by a lucky loser.

World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz took the court. But it took him three hours to leave the court.
