[Sallydaisy]

Humph!
Nys/ERV d Murray/Ram 6'7(3), 7'5, 10'5.
:sad:

Very close match it seems from the stats.

[JAMES4578]

yes was very straightforward for Jack! A disappointment for Jamie with Ram this time, pretty tight but gave a bit too much away in ctb.

[Sallydaisy]

Tabilo has just knocked out Djokovic in R2, 6'3, 6'4.
:shocked:

Tabilo d Wawrinka (WC) in R1, Nole had a Bye as 3rd seed.

oop for Thursday - h ttps://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/monte-carlo/410/daily-schedule?day=6

Jack vs Davidovich Fokina 1st match on Court Rainer III at 10 am.

[Hawkeye]

Jack fails to break the bank at Monte Carlo...

[JAMES4578]

Disappointing particularly after the fightback, first clay court event of the season mind you and Davidovich Fokina was a challenge.

[Sallydaisy]

Draper/Machac withdrew from their Doubles match, giving a WalkOver to Ameodo/Guinard.

[pabbers]

Jack was definitely way below par today. A completely different player to the one who played Giron. I WAS shouting at the tv which I don't usually do when Jack's playing.

Would like to see Musetti win the tournament now

[cazza99]

The final is being moved forward 3 hours due to forecast of heavy rain so will be at 11 am UK time (12 noon local time).

Forza Lorenzo

[Sallydaisy]

Alcaraz v Musetti in the Final promises to be interesting.
:big grin:

[JAMES4578]

Good win for Musetti after De Minaur dominated the first (had double bagelled an out of sorts Dimitrov), should be a entertaining v Alcaraz.

[cazza99]

Cash and Glasspool are in the doubles final too.

[Sallydaisy]

Musetti takes the first set 6-3!

[Sallydaisy]

But Alcaraz fought back and won his first Monte Carlo title 3'6, 6'1, 6'0.
:trophy:
Looks as though Musetti might have run out of steam?

[Sallydaisy]

Doubles Final has just started.
Cash/Glasspool are 3-0 up in the first set with t'others serving to try and hold.

erm, the Brits broke again and will be serving at *4-0

[Sallydaisy]

First set to Cash/Glasspool 6'1.
Arneodo/Guinard won their last service game of the set and have held at the start of the 2nd.

[Sallydaisy]

Tie-break for the 2nd set ...

[Sallydaisy]

Humph!
The British pair lost out on 2 tie-breaks ... but won more points (74/67).
Arneodo/Guinard take the trophy 1'6, 7'6(8), 10'8

[JAMES4578]

was not really a contest after the 1st set, whilst Alcaraz raised his game Musetti was clearly hampered ht tps://www.tennis365.com/tennis-news/told-him-to-retire-lorenzo-musettis-coach-reveals-italians-monte-carlo-final-injury

Pity for Cash/Glasspool , tight one!
