Three of the eight seeds with byes do get on court Tuesday: No. 1 Alexander Zverev. No. 5 Jack Draper and No. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Zverev gets Berrettini, which is no picnic.
Frances Tiafoe, disappointed in the Houston final late Tuesday, has little turnaround as he plays the solid Miomir Kecmanovic later on Tuesday afternoon. That one smells like an upset, because Kecmanovic can play.
(Monte Carlo is six hours ahead of EDT).
