A night session featuring BOTH Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in Doha will be a sellout, you would think.

The Middle East tournies are tough markets except for the very, very best. And while the Big 3 were big sellers, we’ll see if the “New Two” will be able to work the same magic.

In Delray Beach, new daddy Casper Ruud took to the court for the first time as a … new daddy. And squeaked through.
