It's been almost nine years since Stan Wawrinka won his first and only title in an ATP Masters 1000 tournament. In Monte Carlo, in the final against his friend and 2008 co-Olympic champion Roger Federer. It speaks for Wawrinka's extraordinary career that he will only place this title in fourth place in terms of its importance. Behind the three major victories in Australia (2014), Roland Garros (2015) and Flushing Meadows (2016).
In any case, Wawrinka will open the festivities on Court Rainier III from eleven o'clock this Monday against Tallon Griekspoor. The Dutchman has performed well in the hall this year, but Wawrinka should have the edge on the red sand in the Principality.
Then an offensive spectacle announces itself. Because Matteo Berrettini, whose likeness adorns some posters on the streets of Monte Carlo, has to deal with Maxime Cressy. As is well known, he seeks his salvation in the serve volley game.
Murray warms up with Baez
It follows a still active legend in Andy Murray. Murray has to face the nimble Alex de Minaur. Maybe that's exactly why the Scot trained with Sebastian Baez, who was also very agile.
And then Richard Gasquet and Dominic Thiem form the conclusion in the largest stadium of the Monte-Carlo Country Club. The quasi-local hero against the 2020 US Open champion. Excitement is guaranteed: the balance between Thiem and Gasquet has so far been balanced with 2: 2 victories.
Here is the schedule for Monday in Monte-Carlo
