Any other tournaments happening nearby this week?

Any other tournaments happening nearby this week?
Only Challengers methinks; usually no other ATP 250/500's during a Masters week.
If they're quick they could get on a flight to Challys in Madrid or Split; both start tomorrow 10th April and most doubles draws don't start playing until Tuesday or Wednesday ... but they'd need a Wildcard to get in if that's possible.

Krawietz/Puetz just beat Norrie/Shelton by 6'2, 6'3.
At least Cam has the Singles ...

[Sallydaisy]

... and Dan Evans/Cerundolo went out in R1 Doubles too ...
:hmm:

[6] Glasspool/Heliovaara d WC Mahut/Wawrinka by 6'3, 6'4
