Only one match has been played, but if Fabio Fognini's impression of 7: 5, 4: 6 and 6: 3 against Arthur Rinderknech is not deceptive, then the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Monte Carlo is for the Italian also a concern this year. In any case, Fognini fought his way back into the set after falling behind twice in the first round and was not fazed by a weak phase in the second. And finally won in three before the eyes of his regular doubles partner Simone Bolelli.

In round two, the 2019 champion will now meet his successor: the event could not be held in 2020 due to the corona pandemic, and last year Stefanos Tsitsipas struck for the first time in a 1000m. However, the signs for Fognini are not favorable: he has lost all three previous matches against Tsitsipas.
Wawrinka loses to Bublik
Another interesting match-up made Sebastian Korda clear. The young American beat Botic van de Zandschulp in two sets and will face Carlos Alcaraz in round two.
The winner of 2014, on the other hand, was eliminated: Stan Wawrinka lost his second game after a long injury break against Alexander Bublik 6:3, 5:7 and 2:6.
