Two Canadians in action, as No. 6 seed Félix Auger-Aliassime played his opener against 37-year-old Marin Cilic, and got through in two right sets.
Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev and Lorenzo Musetti also make their 2026 debuts.
And only Zverev got through – even at that, barely. Medvedev suffered the ignominy of a pair of bagels at the hands of Matteo Berrettini.
