The second match will be between Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo. It will be the first time when these two will come face to face.
The third singles match in the day will be between French veteran tennis star Gael Monfils and Canada’s Felix Auger Aliassime.
The two have faced off once before where the 37-year-old came out on top with a score of 6-2, 6-4 back in February 2020.
The fourth and final match of the day will be a doubles contest where Russia’s Andrey Rublev will partner with Fils and will take on America’s duo of Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe.
