Wednesday
Each meeting between world No. 55 Tennys Sandgren and Cleveland Open Challenger Tour title-winner Mikael Torpegaard has been a battle, and nothing suggests Wednesday’s match will be any different. From Columbus at 12 PM EDT.
Thursday
Three out of four of Thursday’s singles players are inside the Top 100. First up: No. 39 and Delray Beach ATP Tour title-winner Reilly Opelka opening his MatchPlay 120 account in Boca against JC Aragone. Thursday also features a doubles match.
Friday
We wrap up the week with a night-session forward line-up, kicked off by Grace Min and Jamie Loeb at 4 PM from Orlando. At 6 PM EDT, we head to Newport Beach to watch rising WTA star Claire Liu take on Coco Vandeweghe, before No. 102 Marcos Giron takes on young stud Zachary Svajda in what has proven to be a very competitive match-up so far in the series.
