Zverev out. Djokovic out.

It is a great opportunity for Carlos Alcaraz? Certainly, as he also gets the bonus of having qualifier Daniel Altmaier in a match to get to the quarterfinals.

Altmaier upset Félix Auger-Aliassime in the first round earlier this week.

Some great matches: the ice that is Jack Draper v the fire that is Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. But as incredible as Draper looked in his opener, he ends up going down in a tight one.

The rather comely clash between Lorenzo Musetti and Matteo Berrettini, so close to the Italian border too.

And the new tag team of Andrey Rublev and Marat Safin against French homegrown Arthur Fils. That one didn’t even make the stadium court the lineup is so good. Fils didn’t seem to mind.
