–
A lot of seeded players have gone for the high jump. So these final third-round matches don’t exactly go as expected on that front.
The only ones that are really on song is No. 9 Rublev vs. No. 21 Popyrin (an absolute marathon), and No. 3 Alexander Zverev vs. No. 27 Brandon Nakashima (interrupted).
But Ben Shelton wa to have a late-night challenge on his hands against the evergreen, and ever-steady, Roberto Bautista Agut. But they were rained out.
(Cincinnati is on EDT).
