–

It’s a 500, a good one. But the four remaining singles players in Tokyo are all unseeded players.

With Ben Shelton, it might not be quite that surprising, because he’s on the comeup and is playing some terrific tennis at the moment. And he’s into the final

In Antwerp, three of the top four seeds made the weekend – including top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, who also is alive in doubles.

And in Stockholm. 37-year-old Gaël Monfils is into the final four.

(Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of EDT; Stockholm and Antwerp are six hours ahead).
