–

The ATP Tour sked is staggered to allow for the expanded draw in Shanghai. So the Beijing 500 begins only Wednesday, with Félix Auger-Aliassime the only Canadian on the men’s side scheduled to compete at the ATP level this week.

But there are plenty at the Challenger level – including Vasek Pospisil, Alexis Galarneau and Brayden Schnur in Charleston, and Gabriel Diallo in France.

And Liam Draxl takes the title at a $15K in Albuquerque.

Also – more at another $60K ITF in California for the women, as well as a number at $15Ks, also in the U.S.
