ATP Tour – Thursday OOP – Open Court

ATP Tour – Thursday OOP – Open Court

Local guy Joao Fonseca is already into the semifinals in doubles, to the delight of the tournament and the crowd.

Now, he’s looking to make the singles quarterfinals against a guy from Peru he knew all the way back (years!!!) in the juniors.

In Doha, six of the eight seeds have made the quarterfinals. And the other two are … Stefano Tsitsipas and Arthur Fils. They can’t ask for much more, especially with the Alcaraz-Sinner 1-2 punch for a second straight evening.

In Delray Beach, with four singles matches on tap, they have an American involved in every match.

(Rio is 2 hours behind ET; Doha is 8 hours ahead; Delray Beach is on ET)
