No rematch of last year’s Halle final. Borna retired down a set to Herbert.

Tsitsipas has beaten all of the Big 3 but really struggles against FAA and Medvedev. #matchups

Miguel Guevara in Madrid

De-Reece Grant from London

Dimash Adilet, a Kazakh-born Swiss model

Petros from Cyprus

Felix Auger-Aliassime also doing God’s work today.
