Italian favorites on the Centrale as the third round begins.
And also, suddenly and quickly and in bulk – the next gen in the persons of Alexander Blocks and Rafael Jodar.
It’s also strange to see Casper Ruud be the lower seed in one of these third-round matchups. But he’s at No. 23, facing No. 11 Jiri Lehecka.
