–

The seeds are up, and Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime got a qualifier – albeit a good clay-courter – in Juan Manuel Cerundolo first up in his quest to defend his 2024 Madrid finalist points. He couldn’t get it done.

Notable: seeing “No. 14 seed” next to the name of Casper Ruud.

Also notable: Hubert Hurkacz is back; he hasn’t played since losing his second match at Indian Wells a month and a half ago. And it showed in his return.

Also out – Holger Rune, after winning Barcelona, lasted just a set in his opener. That’s one set more than the player he beat in the Barcelona final, Carlos Alcaraz.
