–
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – Gabriel Diallo is back from injury and the only Canadian in the Miami qualifying on either the men’s or women’s side.
He drew Sumit Nagal, who played (and lost to) his Davis Cup teammate Milos Raonic in Indian Wells, as a lucky loser in the place of Rafael Nadal.
And it’s STILL weird to see Diego Schwartzman, Roberto Bautista Agut and David Goffin in the qualifying. Anywhere.
Tough draw for 2024 young revelations Mensik and Nardi, who meet in the first round.
(Miami is on EDT)
