At this Stage

Davidovich Fokina arrived carrying the newest silverware in the draw — a maiden ATP title, won on grass in Mallorca only days earlier — and set about proving it travels. Cerúndolo, the left-hander enjoying the best season of his career after a Roland Garros fourth round, stayed within touch for three sets, but the 22nd seed's 7-2 sprint through the third-set tiebreak closed the door without a set conceded. Momentum, for once, made the trip from Mallorca intact — and kept going: Fábián Marozsán came next in the last 64, and Davidovich Fokina brushed him aside for the loss of six games.
