–
While the rich get richer at the “6 Kings” exhibition in Saudi Arabia, the rest of the tours carry on and try to pick up points during the indoor European season.
That included Andrey Rublev, who took a late entry into the ATP 250 in Stockholm and played for the first time on Thursday.
That list also included Stefanos Tsitsipas in Antwerp, and Karen Khachanov and Frances Tiafoe in Kazakhstan.
(Almaty is 9 hours ahead of EDT; Stockholm and Antwerp are 6 hours ahead)
