–

Saturday’s sked featured the entrée of Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, and all the seeds in the top half of the draw – plus Andrey Rublev and Karen Khachanov, who were given an extra day after their late arrival from Dubai. To no avail.

There were plenty of upsets and marathons.

On the Canuckian side, Gabriel Diallo faced Rublev – and eked it out, and Alejandro Tabilo faced Medvedev – who was the only one of the latecomers to get through.
