–

Félix Auger-Aliassime was looking for a semifinal spot in Montpellier – which is what he did a year ago and is defending points for – against Bu Yunchaokete of China.

The two met for the first time. And FAA’s serve was firing.

No. 1 seed Andrey Rublev and No. 4 Alexander Bublik will also be in action along with qualifier Nikoloz Basilashvili, back from nowhere.

(Montpellier is 6 hours ahead of ET).
