–
No. 7 seed Lorenzo Musetti was the only singles seed in action in Doha. But he also has the most intriguing challenge as he faces Chinese star Zhang Zhizhen. He got schmocked.
And Roberto Bautista Agut, who is definitely struggling to win matches in 2024, took on Hungarian muscleman Marton Fucsovics. The veteran Spaniard’s struggles continue.
Meanwhile, a rare total rainout on finals day as the matches at the Delray Beach Open were cancelled on Sunday.
Back at it at 10 a.m. Monday for the doubles, not before 12:30 p.m. for the singles. And Taylor Fritz showed once again that if he makes an ATP final, he’ll usually win it.
(Doha is 8 hours ahead of ET, Rio is two hours ahead, Delray Beach right on ET and Los Cabos two hours behind)
