–

On a day when there are few seeds in action in the first round, to have French Open champion Stan Wawrinka, Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini, the great Andy Murray and … Richard Gasquet vs Dominic Thiem on the stadium court was a pretty serious treat.

There were also great doubles matches featuring Dimitrov and Hurkacz (assuming he can get out of bet after his first-round marathon on Sunday) vs. the Tstsipas brothers. And Taylor Fritz and Holger Rune against the Italian team of Bolelli and Musetti.

(Monte Carlo is six hours ahead of EDT).
