–

The top three seeds – Ruud, Hurkacz and Musetti – hit the courts in Estoril on Thursday.

But even as that is going on, there wass a vintage, somewhat bittersweet meeting on the Court Cascais between Richard Gasquet, the former top 10 who’s in as a lucky loser and Dominic Thiem, the former US Open champion fallen upon hard times. It went to Gasquet, another blow to Thiem’s comeback.

That Thiem, just 30, is kind of falling into that “seasoned vets still kicking” category with Gasquet and his French contemporaries, Stan Wawrinka and Andy Murray and Fabio Fognini, is … something.

In Marrakech, there were old faithfuls Goffin and Wawrinka. But both also were eliminated.

(Houston is one hour behind EDT; Marrakech is four hours ahead, and Estoril is five hours ahead).
