American Jenson Brooksby will open play on Houston’s stadium court Tuesday.
Tiafoe, Kyrgios also on Tuesday schedule
Monday’s play at the Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championship was rained out in Houston, postponing the start of main-draw play.
A full slate of Tuesday matches begins with eighth seed Jenson Brooksby taking on wild card J.J. Wolf. The stadium court’s evening action will begin with a battle of former champions as fifth seed and 2019 winner Cristian Garin takes on 2015 champ Jack Sock. Garin returns to Houston as defending champion, with the event not held the past two seasons.
Nick Kyrgios will also be in action on the show court against Ameican Mackenzie McDonald.
A pair of all-American matches is also among the highlights on the Tuesday stadium schedule. Two-time champion Steve Johnson (2017-18) will square off against countryman Denis Kudla, while sixth seed Frances Tiafoe faces Marcos Giron in an all-American nightcap.
Doubles action will also begin on Tuesday, with two matches on tap.
