–

Late withdrawal from Davis Cup for Denis Shapovalov, who ended up getting straight into this ATP 250 in Montpellier and is looking for matches and ranking points.

He’s currently way outside the top 100 – which is not where it should be.

Shapovalov had never faced his opponent, crafty French lefty Hugo Gaston. But he took care of him easily and now will face No. 2 seed Alexander Bublik.

(Montpellier is 6 hours ahead of EST)
