Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

The seeds take the court in Friday for the first time. And it’s the bottom half of the draw, where Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic both reside.

Also in action – Félix Auger-Aliassime, who had a first-round bye and gets qualifier Tristan Schoolkate in his second-rounder.

That’s not a bad draw.

Also returning – Nick Kyrgios, who won his first ATP Tour match in more than two years on Wednesday, but faces the very solid Karen Khachanov as he tries to build on that.

Worth watching: Tommy Paul v Alexander Bublik, if “come to play” Bublik shows up on this day.

(Miami is on ET).
