MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Aliassime

Two Canadians in the quarterfinals on Friday – both playing night sessions.

Félix Auger-Aliassime was in Brussels, and Denis Shapovalov wass in Stockholm.

Small chance FAA could move back into the top 10 this week. But a lot would have to happen – including Holger Rune losing his quarterfinal match Friday, FAA winning the Brussels title and Casper Ruud … not winning the Stockholm title.

Shapovalov will have a direct impact on that as he faces Ruud on Saturday.

(Almaty is 9 hours ahead of EDT; Brussels and Stockholm are 6 hours ahead)
