–

It was semifinal day in Doha, with some of the top seeds gone, but others still alive.

Did Andrey Rublev have anything left after an in extremis victory over the higher-ranked Alex de Minaur? Already, just getting through that had to be good for his confidence. He had enough – just – to squeeze past Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime.

In Rio, they’re only at the quarterfinal stage. But beyond top seed Alexander Zverev, the draw is a bit decimated in terms of star power; it didn’t have a load of it to start with.

But there are a lot of Argentines still alive.
