Down to the pointy end with four seeded players making it to the Toronto semifinals – and two of them, No. 2 Taylor Fritz and No. 4 Ben Shelton, making their seeding and playing each other for stars and stripes glory.
No. 1 Alexander Zverev has gotten through to the final four without necessarily showing his best tennis. And he was up against an in-form Karen Khachanov who, on his day, can beat anyone. And did.
Also – the end of the qualifying in Cincinnati. Because tennis never stops.
(Toronto is on EDT).
