Wawrinka Falls to Fritz at Monte-Carlo
Wawrinka has slowly and steadily risen in the rankings this season and will enter this competition ranked 84th in the world – his best ranking since the first week of the 2022 season.
The Swiss player has achieved this with some consistency in his results, which includes making the quarterfinal at the Rotterdam Open and Marseille Open and then storming into the fourth round of the Indian Wells Masters. A win over Holger Rune in the latter made for wondering viewing for Wawrinka.
He also kick-started the clay swing reasonably well with a comeback from behind win over Tallon Griekspoor in the first round of the Monte-Carlo Masters.
In the second round there, Wawrinka had his chances against Taylor Fritz but once he lost the first set tie-breaker 12-10, there was no looking back for his opponent.
Still, the signs of a Wawrinka resurrection have grown momentum and a strong showing on clay is always on the cards.

Van Assche Has One Win This Season
On the one hand one can talk up Van Assche’s performances this year which have seen him rise to 88th on the ATP Rankings – his career-best rank. On the other, it has a lot to do with his showing on the Challenger circuit, on which he has won two titles so far in 2023.
At the highest level, however, not a lot of results have gone Van Assche’s way as he still works his way through the difference in quality at the two levels.
He has featured in six ATP tournaments this season and won just one main draw match. That came at the Estoril Open two weeks ago, but that was followed by a second round defeat at the hands of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and a qualifying loss at the Monte-Carlo.
And Van Assche now faces a resurgent Wawrinka who has had his day on clay in the past too. Can he turn things around here?
