–

Medvedev, Ruud, and Rune v Thiem took up spots on the main stadium court on Wednesday. None of the matches were particularly dramatic.

Which leaves Berrettini, Zverev and Fritz v Wawrinka for the Court des Princes.

You can’t really go wrong, although things were rather more competitive on the second court.

And Lorenzo Musetti dropping a full-throated double-bagel over younger compatriot Luca Nardi on a smaller court must been some treat.

(Monte Carlo is six hours ahead of EDT).
