–

The qualifying begins Monday at Roland Garros.

But in Geneva and Lyon, plenty of top-flight tennis as some of the RG main-draw players tried to get a few more matches in.

Notable was Andy Murray, back earlier than expected from that nasty ankle injury in Miami, with a Challenger appearance last week and another prep tournament this week.

But he was down a set and two breaks in the second set when rain ended up scuttling the end of the day.

In Lyon, Brandon Nakashima and talented clay-courter Mariano Navone were late scratches with right shoulder issues.

No point in taking any chances before the big one.
