Big Wednesday, hopefully, for the three Azzurri still competing in Monte Carlo and today looking for the round of 16. The first to take the field on Court 2 – at 11, simultaneously with the sign-up match that opens the central program between Carlos Alcaraz and Sebastian Korda – is Lorenzo Sonego, who faces the number 62 of the ranking, the Serbian Laslo Djere : the precedents are 3-1 for “Sonny” who reached the quarterfinals here at the Country Club in 2019.
After the northern derby between the Norwegian Caper Ruud and the Danish Holger Rune, on the central it is instead Lorenzo Musetti’s turn, called to a non-trivial feat against Felix Auger Aliassime, the seeded n.6 of the tournament and the number 9 in the world . The precedents were equal, both dated 2021, with the Canadian winner in Barcelona and the Italian in Lyon, again in three sets.
Again as a third match, but on the court of the princes, Jannik Sinner will have to defend himself from the attack of Emil Ruusuvuori, Finnish qualifier, n.81 in the world against Sinner’s n.12. Jan has won three of the previous four, and he should have solved the abdominal problem that bothered him in the previous round against Coric.
