The only remaining Canadian in the men’s draw, after everyone else went out early, looks to make the fourth round with a good draw against the unseeded Alexander Blockx.

The kid is coming, though, and has already had a good tournament as he looks to cause the upset.

Stefanos Tsitsipas has a similar challenge against a rising Spanish qualifier; a win there would definitely do him wonders.
