–
On the singles side, Friday was a virtual washout and so there is some catching up to go on this Saturday, when the weather was expected to be better. Which it was … ish.
A couple of the matches – Humbert v Nakashima, and Bautista Agut v Fognini, were at pretty critical stages when they resumed.
Holger Rune had to move to No. 1 Court to finish his 0-2 comeback.
Canadian Denis Shapovalov and American Ben Shelton, the No. 14 seed, had barely gotten under way when the rains came Friday. In the end, the American prevailed.
