All the Canadian content came early in Monte Carlo Monday, with Chilean-Canadian Alejandro Tabilo first up on the big court against 40-year-old wild card Stan Wawrinka. And was the only one who came out a winner.
On the more intimate Court des Princes, it was a doubleheader with Denis Shapovalov up first, then Félix Auger-Aliassime. Both went out in straight sets.
The old-school 1000 format means an absolutely stacked “opening day”, with three matches having been played on Sunday.
(Monte Carlo is six hours ahead of EDT).
