Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

After the big Masters 1000, the tour splits up into three smaller 250 events in Kazakhstan, Belgium and Sweden.

While the big guns head to the Middle East for the big bucks.

But that means great opportunities at these events – notably, Alex de Minaur and Andrey Rublev took advantage of the “late entry” option to get in there and play.

(Almaty is 9 hours ahead of EDT; Stockholm and Antwerp are 6 hours ahead)
