Musetti Sends Estoril Runner-up Crashing
Miomir Kecmanovic had entered the tournament on the back of a superb showing at the Estoril Open where he had made the final with four successive straight-set wins under his belt. A rampaging Casper Ruud got the better of him in the final.
What that meant, however, is the Serb had a lot of confidence coming into the Monte-Carlo Masters and for a while it looked like his fighting spirit was intact.
Musetti wasn’t giving in easily in the first set but then same was the case with Kecmanovic as well. Only two break-points were on offer in the first set and both went to Kecmanovic, who missed them.
In the tie-breaker that followed, however, Musetti raced away from 1-1 to win six points in a row to grab the set. And the one-sided nature of the tie-breaker seemed to spill over on to the second set as well as Musetti broke him three times to clinch a 7-6 (1), 6-0 win.
Can he now emulate his last year’s third round showing in Monte-Carlo?

Nardi Overcomes Vacherot
Valentin Vacherot had earned himself a wildcard for this tournament and ranked 357th in the world, not much was expected of him.
He did put up a strong showing though, pushing Nardi in both sets. In fact, there was no breaks in the first six games and this was followed by successive dropping of serves by both players to get them to 4-4.
It was in the 11th game that Nardi finally broke Vacherot again and won the set off his second set-point.
Nardi then grabbed a 3-1 lead in the second set, went up 4-2 but then lost his serve in the eighth game. Again, the scoreline read 5-5 when Nardi made a decisive break before serving it out to love to make it to the second round for the first time ever on the Masters 1000 tour.
