No foolin’, as Cana-Moroccan Taha Baadi tries to back up his first career ATP Tour main-draw singles win with an upset over the mercurial Corentin Moutet.
The crowd, will be FOR Baadi, might get involved and get under Moutet’s skin. Which will make for some entertainment, if nothing else.
In Bucharest, Gabriel Diallo kicks off what (we would think) is his first ATP event as the No. 1 seed. He gets lefty qualifier Alex Molcan; Molcan is a quality dirtballer whose ranking dropped a fair bit when he was out with injury.
In Houston, top American seeds Ben Shelton (who is already into the doubles semifinal) and Tommy Paul take the court.
(Houston is one hour behind EDT; Marrakech is five hours ahead, and Bucharest is seven hours ahead).
