There will be three ATP Tour events this week on three different continents with plenty of hardware at stake.
Reigning Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner of Italy leads the way at the ABN AMRO Open, the first ATP 500 event of the season being held in Rotterdam, Netherlands, where Andrey Rublev of Russia and Danish youngster Holger Rune will also be in action.
Sinner will take on home Botic van den Zandschulp in the first round. Rublev will start his title bid against Belgian qualifier Zizou Bergs and No. 3 seed Rune plays Roman Safiullin from Russia in the first round at Ahoy Arena.

Alcaraz top seed in Buenos Aires
Carlos Alcaraz is the top seed at the IEB+ Argentina Open. The 20-year-old Spaniard is the defending champion at the ATP 250 clay-court event in Buenos Aires. After a first-round bye, Alcaraz awaits the winner of the encounter between Juan Pablo Varillas of Peru and a qualifier.
The World No. 2 will be wary of a strong field competing however, one that includes Briton Cameron Norrie, Nicolas Jarry of Chile, #NextGenATP Frenchman Arthur Fils and home favourite Francisco Cerundolo.
