–
MIAMI – The clay season has begun – already!
And with Denis Shapovalov and Leylah Fernandez both still in North America but both taking part in the first week of the clay season, it’s serious time.
Shapovalov took a wild card into the tournament in Houston.
Most of the rest of the crew (except Félix Auger-Aliassime) are in action: Vasek Pospisil, Alexis Galarneau, Gabriel Diallo, Rebecca Marino.
Everybody!!
