THE R1 !! 

Big big shock in this first round with Musetti, reigning quarter-finalist and Fritz semi-finalist of the last edition. The happiness of the M1000s over a week, a treat!

Fritz was disappointing at home in Miami after an unsuccessful Indian Wells either, strange after his good start to the season. Not ideal to prepare for this tournament in which he plays big and what's more we'll have to get straight into it because taking Musetti on earth is far from being a gift. The Italian is one of the best players in the world, he will also have the advantage of playing "at home" given the number of Italians present each year in Monte-Carlo. We can note an H2H in favor of Fritz on fast surfaces, logical. I think that on land they have a much closer level of play than elsewhere, the cards are reshuffled. We saw Musetti lose to an excellent Borges at home last week, worrying for some but it was his first match on clay of the year, nothing to worry about. One thing is certain, they are going to have a good time because they are both playing big this week!
