Play begins in Monte-Carlo after rain delay

Play is underway at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters after rain caused a two-hour, 23-minute delay to the start of Tuesday’s action.

Former champions Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka are among the players who will start their campaigns at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, with both on Court Rainier III.

Djokovic makes his first appearance on clay this year in a second-round meeting with Roman Safiullin. The No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings, Djokovic leads Safiullin 1-0 in the pair’s ATP Head2Head series after a 2022 victory in Tel Aviv.

Top 10 stars Alexander Zverev and Hubert Hurkacz are also on the Day 3 schedule. Zverev plays Sebastian Ofner, Hurkacz faces Jack Draper, while French duo Gael Monfils and Arthur Fils are among the other stars in action.

Matteo Berrettini, fresh from winning his first ATP Tour title since 2022 in Marrakech, takes on Miomir Kecmanovic.
