Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

(Tennis Canada/Peter Power)

The surfaces and continents stay the same, but the cities change as the ATP calendar rolls over this week.

The only change, from Dallas to Delray, is the players went from indoor to outdoor. But those in Dallas were also able to practice outdoors at the facility there.

In Rotterdam, Milos Raonic made his first appearance on court since retiring with hip spasms at the Australian Open. And later on Monday, Félix Auger-Aliassime took on serve-volleyer Maxime Cressy in the nightcap. Both squeezed through.

In Delray, Canadian Gabriel Diallo got in last minute as a lucky loser, but fell to Nuno Borges.

In Buenos Aires, amongst the dirtballers, there are a couple of former Grand Slam champions in Marin Cilic and Stan Wawrinka. Cilic ran out of gas, but Wawrinka prevailed.

(Rotterdam is 6 hours ahead of ET, Buenos Aires two hours ahead, and Delray right on ET)
