Having a men’s 32-draw immediately after the expanded (but still small for a modern 1000) women’s draw of 56 singles players and 28 doubles teams shows the contrast between a quiet start of the week, and a busy one.

For the men’s tennis fans, they at least had Jannik Sinner on the docket.

A year ago, he was just getting his three-month doping suspension started and kind of fell off the map for awhile, after practicing in the Middle East until he … wasn’t allowed to.

But there are just two stadium matches in the day session, and two in the night. And two doubles matches on a side court.

Contrast that with last Monday for the women, when they had .. 14 matches on the docket.

In Rio, hometown hero Joso Fonseca took to the court in doubles, to get his feet wet. And won.
