TIDBITS OF INFO:

– Two former champions, Tommy Haas and Juan Monaco, headline opening night at River Oaks. Haas won the title in 2004 while Monaco is a two-time champion, having won in 2012 and 2016.

– Haas turned 39-years-old last Monday. His opponent, Reilly Opelka, is just 19-years-old. The age disparity between the two is 19.42 years. That’s the largest age gap between opponents in a tour-level match since 38-year-old Jimmy Connors lost to 19-year-old Michael Chang at the 1991 French Open.

– Monaco is attempting to be the first player to defend a US Clay title since Andy Roddick (2001-02).

– Two Americans qualified with wins on Sunday, bringing the total of US players in the main draw to 12, the most since 13 in 2007.

– Tennys Sandgren, a former player at the University of Tennessee, successfully qualified with a pair of wins this weekend. His match Tuesday against fellow American Ernesto Escobedo will be his first in the main draw of an ATP World Tour event.
