In Montecarlo, the main rivals of Sinner released shook more than ever from March on March on the American cement. Alexander Zverev, seeded number 1, and immediately behind Carlos Alcaraz looking for a little redemption on earth after Miami’s trauma. The German landed in Montecarlo immediately diving into training on that red land that crowned him winning several times in Madrid, Rome and Monaco. The Spaniard has allowed himself a few days off in Mexico: in Montecarlo he will be guided not by Ferrero, but by Samuel Lopez, with whom he will arrive on Saturday. Present, except naturally made for Jannik Sinner, all Top 20 tennis players with a single absent: Tommy Paul. Among the 16 seeded heads there is Lorenzo Musetti: the Tuscan, with the season on the ground, aims at the sprint that could be worth the entry into the much coveted top 10.

But he also looks for Tsitsipas, the tournament holder; The Greek this year won the 500 of Dubai, then collecting metles out of the scene in the two 1000 on the concrete. Question on Medvedev and Djokovic: the Russian is not properly a land (indeed), but on the red he won his last tournament, two years ago in Rome. Nole, on the other hand, comes from the bitterness of the title number 100 faded right to the last act, in Miami against Mensik. By the way, the 2005 Czech will not be there.
