Monte Carlo Masters Day 3 order of play: Djokovic eyes revenge, Nadal to start Wednesday
MONTE CARLO MASTERS Day 3 order of play: The action from Monte Carlo continues today and Express Sport is on hand to give you Tuesday’s schedule.
World No 1 Novak Djokovic begins his attempt at winning a third Monte Carlo on Tuesday.
And the Serbian has a chance at revenge as he plays Philipp Kohlschreiber, who beat him in Indian Wells last month.
“It’s great to play at home. I live here. I’ve used it as a base for the past almost 15 years,” Djokovic said.
“The transformation of this club is quite amazing compared to the other times of the year when you don’t have a tournament it’s really calm and there’s not many people. Right now it’s just a different world.
Novak Djokovic: I have no reason to doubt myself
“But I like it, I embrace it, and this is definitely one of if not my favourite tournament to play and I can’t wait to step on the court.”
Elsewhere, seventh seed Marin Cilic plays Guido Pella and Stan Wawrinka faces Marco Cecchinato.
Rising star Felix Auger-Aliassime, who is also competing in doubles late in the day, takes on Juan Ignacio Londero.
