–
It must have been a long, long week for Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime, who finally took the court in singles for the first time on Thursday against Germany’s Yannick Hanfmann.
Auger-Aliassime played doubles at the start of the week with Swiss player Dominic Stricker. But they drew the No. 1 seeds – the pickup duo of Jamie Murray and Adam Pavlasek – and were one and done.
In Bastad, safetly into the doubles semifinals by a hair, Nadal was to get a more severe test in singles than he had in his opener against Leo Borg: British veteran Cameron Norrie. A few bumpy moments, and then some vintage.
And in Newport – plenty of American content.
