Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Two good semifinals, if not the semifinals most people expected.

But after Carlos Alcaraz raised his level just in time to get past the younger Arthur Fils, he’s in the driver’s seat for the title.

Meanwhile, qualifying at competing 500-level events begins, in Munich and Barcelona.

Barcelona, which used to have a 48-draw, is now down to the regulation 32. But the prize money is roughly the same as last year.

Canadian Gabriel Diallo is the only one in action, in qualifying in Barcelona.

(Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Munich are six hours ahead of EDT).
