The draw in Monte Carlo is set and the “big news” is that Federer and Djokovic are in the same half. The Swiss Maestro didn’t have a tough draw with the (huge) exception of being in Nole’s half. Conversely, the world no.1 was extremely unlucky to possibly face Vesely in the opener, then probably Monfils, Ferrer and finally Federer in the semifinal.
On the other side of the draw, Nadal and Wawrinka fell in the same quarter. Rafa may play his “enemy” Lukas Rosol in the opener.
PROJECTED QUARTERS
Djokovic – Ferrer
Federer – Tsonga
Nadal – Wawrinka
Berdych – Murray
The defending champion is Novak Djokovic that is also the favorite to win this year.
Perfect draw for Roger. Easy matches at the beginning, then an "approachable quarter" vs Gasquet or Tsonga and then the big test of Djokovic. Novak should be exhausted after the back to back titles in IW and Miami and he has a difficult draw in Monte Carlo.
