Open Court

MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

The Canadians get going with Gabriel Diallo (with Jenson Brooksby) opening up the main court in doubles, and Denis Shapovalov playing singles later in the day.

As well – a vets’ clash between David Goffin and Marin Cilic – made all the more intriguing because the two met in the final round of qualifying. Cilic won, with Goffin getting into the draw as a lucky loser.

It’s actually surprising, odds-wise, how often that happens.

In Vienna, some comely matchups that are top shelf for first-rounders, mostly because of the fall in form of some of the combattants.

Andrey Rublev takes on Cameron Norrie, and Lorenzo Musetti will face Stefanos Tsitsipas.

(Basel and Vienna are 6 hours ahead of EDT)
