Canadians Denis Shapovalov and Gabriel Diallo were both in action, and both had tough openers. Too tough, it turned out.

As well, some other high profile but unseeded players: Joao Fonseca (who met Diallo), Stefanos Tsitsipas, local Monégasque Valentin Vacherot and wild card Stan Wawrinka.

Doubles specialist Joe Salisbury was back Monday, after taking a mental-health break. But he’ll have to try again for his first win.
