–
Denis Shapovalov kicked off his grass-court season after an up-and-down clay-court swing, with a solid opponent in Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech.
Too solid, as it turns out.
Also on in Stuttgart: Djoko-Gen players Fabio Fognini and Gaël Monfils, still popular characters and, in Monfils’s case particularly, still playing impressive tennis. But both went out in three sets.
In ‘s-Hertogenbosch, only one seed was to be in action: No. 5 Hubert Hurkacz. But along with other matches, he was postponed because of rain.
(Stuttgart and ‘s-Hertogenbosch are six hours ahead of EDT).
