Tournament Retrospective (First Round and Analysis)
If you missed the very beginning of the tournament, here is a reminder of the key events from the first days of the Masters.
1. Sun over the Principality and a Draw without Djokovic
Although the weather in Monte Carlo is perfect with no rain in sight, the tournament began with a significant void—the absence of Novak Djokovic. This opened up the draw, but the opening rounds quickly proved that the transition to the Principality’s clay doesn’t forgive mistakes, especially for those who tried to balance their schedules.
2. The “Bucharest” Syndrome: Calculations That Did (Not) Pay Off
An interesting trend this year involved the tournament in Bucharest (Tiriac Open). Many players tried to balance these two events, but the transition proved too demanding:
- Those who withdrew from Bucharest: Miomir Kecmanovic, Flavio Cobolli (who didn’t defend his title), Arthur Rinderknech, Marton Fucsovics, and Francisco Comesana sacrificed their appearance in Romania to rest, but most suffered early eliminations in Monte Carlo. Kecmanovic was stopped right at the start by Cameron Norrie (2-6, 6-4, 0-6).
- Those who played in Romania and paid the price of fatigue: A large number of players tried to carry over their form from Bucharest, but almost all were eliminated at the start. Nuno Borges, Gabriel Diallo, Daniel Altmaier, and Alexander Shevchenko (who was swept by Cilic) were all knocked out in the first round. Roberto Bautista Agut had to retire against Berrettini, Adrian Mannarino lost to Bergs, while Damir Dzumhur fell to Fabian Marozsan.
- The exceptions who reached the Round of 32: Only two players from the “Bucharest group” survived the first round. Fabian Marozsan advanced by defeating Dzumhur, while Sebastian Baez passed the first hurdle (Wawrinka) but was routinely stopped by Carlos Alcaraz in the second round.
3. Tsitsipas’ Fall and the Return of the Veterans
Besides the absence of the biggest stars, the first round was marked by the continuing agony of Stefanos Tsitsipas, who is sinking deeper. He was routinely defeated by Francisco Cerundolo (5-7, 4-6) on a surface where he was once the absolute ruler.
On the other hand, the experienced foxes had mixed success. Marin Cilic outclassed the young Shevchenko, dropping only four games (6-1, 6-3). Gael Monfils put on a real show in the first round by knocking out Tallon Griekspoor after a massive three-set battle, but he was grounded in the Round of 32 by Alexander Bublik in straight sets (4-6, 4-6).
Among the minor surprises, it is worth highlighting the victory of the tall Hubert Hurkacz, who managed to break a true clay-court specialist, Luciano Darderi, winning 2-1 in sets on the uncharacteristically slow dirt.
