–
The seeds began to meet in Toronto.
And while the decimation of the field means it’s not what it could be, No. 1 Alexander Zverev vs. No. 32 Matteo Arnaldi, and the David vs Goliath American matchup of Learner Tien and Reilly Opelka (both unseeded), was intriguing.
And WAS to be the return of #Shauger, along with two other all-Canadian doubles teams as that event begins. Or it was … supposed to be. Two substitutions later, #Shauger ended up being … Romboli and Smith.
(Toronto is on EDT).
