Salisbury/Skupski d Ebden/Peers 7'6(5), 6'3.

Murray/Ram yet to play their match - it's been moved to Court Des Prince and should begin shortly.

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

Very close match it seems from the stats.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cash and Glasspool are in the doubles final too.

Musetti takes the first set 6-3!

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?

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

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.

Tie-break for the 2nd set ...

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

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!
