–
It’s a quick turnaround for the Canadians from the highs of playing at home, to the grind of getting to the middle of nowhere outside of Cincinnati and try to do better than they managed to do at home.
That’s especially true for Félix Auger-Aliassime, Denis Shapovalov and Leylah Fernandez, who went out in their opening rounds.
And in the meantime, Victoria Mboko WON Montreal.
Cincinnati results held over to next week’s roster.
