The ATP Tour has rapidly moved on from the Australian Open, although Jannik Sinner will still be celebrating his Grand Slam success.
Carlos Alcaraz has won the Rotterdam Open, while Denis Shapovalov has emerged victorious at the Dallas Open.
Alcaraz overcame fellow Australian Open quarter-finalist Alex de Minaur in Rotterdam, with Shapovalov impressively beating second seed Casper Ruud in Dallas.
World number one Sinner withdrew from the Rotterdam Open, while Novak Djokovic also missed out through injury.
But there were plenty of star names taking part in both tournaments, with many suffering disappointing early exits.

Pouille said he may retire before knowing the severity of the injury, with his worst fears now confirmed, as he wrote on Instagram: “Results are as we think… Complete rupture of the Achilles tendon…
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your messages. Going in for surgery in the next few days and do everything to come back…”
Wawrinka commented with folded hands and heart emojis, with Auger-Aliassime doing the same with the words: “Good luck man.”
French icons Amelie Mauresmo and Yannick Noah message injured Lucas Pouille
Former world number 10 Pouille is clearly well-loved within the tennis world, with the messages of support certain to continue.
But it would be a real shame for the 30-year-old’s career to end like this, with the Frenchman a five-time ATP Tour champion.
His road to recovery begins now, but it remains to be seen whether or not Pouille can make it back out onto the court.
French legend Amelie Mauresmo, who previously coached Pouille, also commented on his surgery confirmation, saying: “Courage”.
Fellow compatriots Yannick Noah and Hugo Gaston meanwhile wrote: “Strength to you Lucho!!!” and “Courage my champion” respectively.
