–

No doubt the offering in Barcelona is superior to the one in Munich, with Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Fils squaring off for the second time in two weeks.

Their first of what will surely be many career meetings – at 20, Fils is even younger than Alcaraz – in Monte Carlo last week was a tremendous match.

Rune v Khachanov is no slouch, either.

In Munich, the underratede Francisco Cerundolo will look to spoil a No. 1 v No. 2 final by trying to upset American Ben Shelton

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