“Number four seed is Lorenzo Musetti. He is back. Hopefully healthy. He's the defending runner up, so there's a lot of ranking point implications on Musetti's run here. He's been so good at this event. Monte Carlo has been his best tournament throughout his career, and I do think the draw is really favorable for him, so I don't see him really getting picked off early.”
“Zverev finally started serving Medvedev heavily wide in Paris. Sasha's wide serve, it's improved since then. He's worked on hitting a slower, more angular slice serve. And that very improvement that I've seen from Zverev this year is going to really play into this Medvedev head-to-head really nicely. Not to mention Clay. Look, I mean, Zverev's weight of shot, if he's actually hitting through the ball with confidence... these things in theory should help Zverev.”
“Only one time in tennis history has a player won the Sunshine Double, and then also won Monte Carlo. And that was Djokovic in 2015. It doesn't really happen. I'm never really going to back a player to win the Sunshine Double and do well at Monte Carlo. History tells us it's just not going to happen. Now Jannik can do it. He does a lot of things that are historical and mind-blowing, but it's not something that I'm going to bank on.”
