Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

It’s a lot, with both the men’s and women’s qualifying starting on the same day in Madrid.

There are 24 first-round matches on the sked. And notable among them is the one Canadian, Canadian Gabriel DIallo.

Diallo, the No. 3 seed, faces Spanish-American Nicolas Moreno de Alboran.

Also in the draw is veteran Fabio Fognini, still grinding away. Along with wild card Diego Dedura-Palomero – who made a … well, a notable debut last week in Munich when he won his first career ATP match against a retiring Denis Shapovalov.

(Madrid is six hours ahead of EDT).
