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)
