–

One Canadian – as Denis Shapovalov took on a promising young Lithuanian in Vilius Gaubas. And he went out in straight sets.

But Carlos Alcaraz is in the house. And No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev.

And new top-10 and home-country favorite Lorenzo Musetti.

The seeds hit the court, and it was a pretty terrific lineup.
