–

An impressive Tuesday lineup on the main court, with Wawrinka (vs. De Minaur), Berrettini (vs. Kecmanovic), Djokovic (against Safiullin) and Zverev (vs. Ofner).

In the end, the favorites had no problems winning.

Korda, Hurkacz vs. Draper, Monfils vs. lucky loser Aleksandar Vukic. Those took awhile.

And the watch on Carlos Alcaraz’s health ended, when the young Spaniard withdrew with an arm issue.
