–
A lot of Italians, of course, as you’d expect on the first day of main draw play at a tournament in Italy.
And there to spoil the party are a couple of lucky losers who are more accomplished than the main-draw players they will face: veterans Pablo Carreño Busta and Cameron Norrie.
And we’ll look to see if giant Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, whose star was so much on the ascendancy not very long ago, can get it kickstarted ahead of his home Slam at Roland Garros.
He faces a tough customer in Jordan Thompson, though.
No Canadians until Thursday, when Gabriel Diallo will play.
(Madrid is six hours ahead of EDT).
