The only Canadian in action was Cana-Chilean Alejandro Tabilo, who is fresh from winning a big Challenger in France but who was up against a quality veteran in qualifier Pablo Carreño Busta.

They’ve met a couple of times, bot hin hard courts, both close but both won by Carreño Busta. This time, Tabilo won easily.

Also in action was supposed to be Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, who found his coach Francisco Roig poached by Iga Swiatek before the clay season. And who hasn’t played losing his first-round matches in both Indian Wells and Miami. He ended up getting postponed.

In all, three matches never got under way.
