Six seeds in action in Dubai on Tuesday, including Medvedev, Rublev, Bublik and Menchik. And everybody got through.
Also: Denis Shapovalov, who was to have played Tomas Machac. Who pulled out, yet again. So he faced qualifier Pablo Carreño Busta instead. And lost
Gaël Monfils, whose original plan was to play on the South American clay swing, returned in Acapulco and won. Making him the oldest Frenchman to win an ATP Tour match in the open era.
(Santiago is 2 hours ahead of ET; Dubai 9 hours ahead and Acapulco an hour behind)
