Only one R128 match was held over from the schedule, with American Alex Michelsen taking on Bu Yaochokete, who was coming from a semifinal in Tokyo and gets home consideration and an extra day.

Also getting consideration are the No. 1 and No. 2 players in the world, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who played the Beijing final on Wednesday night. They’ll get an extra day and play on Saturday.

Denis Shapovalov, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Chilean-Canadian Alejandro Tabilo were all first up. Only Tabilo survived.
