MONTECARLO. For Italian fans, the highlight of Monte Carlo’s first Sunday is the match scheduled at 11 on the central: Flavio Cobolli, the only Azzurro survivor in the first qualifying round is looking for a place in the main draw against the Finnish Ruusuvuori. The 19-year-old Roman number 149 in the world would become the fifth of our patrol, joining Jannik Sinner, Lorenzo Sonego, Lorenzo Musetti and Fabio Fognini.
Among other things, Cobolli played on two… red tables during the day. In the morning he won the first qualifying round at the Country Club beating the French Hugo Gaston (number 63 Atp), and then moved to the Challenger of Sanremo to play the doubles final (lost alongside Matteo Gigante against Biancaneux-Muller for 4-6 6-3 11-9). The reverse path compared to the Danish Rune, who first won the Challenger singles final in Sanremo (6-1 2-6 6-4 to the surprising blue Francesco Passaro) and then won the qualifying match in Monte Carlo in the afternoon . Below is the Sunday game program.
