The ATP stars took to the doubles stage on Monday with Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas, Jannik Sinner and Reilly Opelka, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Sebastian Korda among those who made rare appearances on the doubles court.
Djokovic and Tsitsipas were particularly impressive in dispatching an excellent doubles team in straight sets.
