Meanwhile, Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., will have to wait another day to continue his first-round match with Radu Albot. The Moldovan had a 7-5, 2-2 lead on Shapovalov when their match was suspended Monday due to darkness.

There were mixed results for Canada on Day 1 of main draw competition. Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., won her first-round match while Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime, the No. 11 seed, dropped his opener.
