Stan Wawrinka, at home in Switzerland, gets lucky lower Raul Brancaccio in the first round. Which is a better outcome than the original; Alejandro Tabilo added a high end Challenger during the second week of Rome and made a deep run, so “fatigue” took him out ahead of the French.
In Hamburg, where there has been some hurt including the withdrawal of Alexander Zverev (with Alex de Minaur added as a top seed at the 11th hour), No. 2 seed Ben Shelton also gets a lucky loser instead of Joao Fonseca. Not that the gritty Marcos Giron is an easy draw.
(Hamburg and Geneva are six hours ahead of EDT)
