Hey there tennis fans! We’re here to catch you up and provide you with some opportunities in the tennis world. From Monte-Carlo madness to learning about college tennis, let’s get into it:
Results from Monte-Carlo
There are still several days to play in Monte-Carlo, but some big names have already been eliminated from the draw! This morning saw the exits of both Djokovic and Zverev in straight sets. For Djokovic, this is his first loss of 2021 and it comes at the hands of Dan Evans, who advances to the QFs to face another man who pulled off a straight-set upset, David Goffin. Goffin’s upset over Zverev brings the overall H2H record between these two players to 2-2.
Nadal appears to be in great form, dropping only 5 games in his first two matches! He’ll take on the winner of Rublev and Bautista Agut in the next round. It was also nice to see Lucas Pouille back on the big stage, but he lost to Davidovich Fokina earlier today in the Round of 16. If nothing else, it’s always good to be reminded why Rafa is the favorite on clay!
