But whilst Nardi may well have a bright future, facing Musetti, even out of form, is a very different proposition to coming up against Vacherot. What a week this is turning out to be for the 19-year-old, who scored his first main draw win at a Masters 1000 and just his second ATP win overall against the Monagasque wild card Valentin Vacherot. Musetti will now brace himself for an all-Italian clash in the second round against qualifier Luca Nardi. He went on to win the tiebreak and Kecmanovic, perhaps feeling the effects of his exertions in Portugal, faltered badly in the second set, losing it to love. The first set was particularly important for Musetti who erased a couple of break points in the seventh game. Lorenzi Musetti picked up just his third win since the United Cup, beating Estoril runner-up Miomir Kecmanovic 7-6 6-0. The seventh seed should be comfortable enough here. But although that win was encouraging, Schwartzman does not have the ammunition to go toe-to-toe with Sinner or, right now at least, the consistency to outlast him from the baseline. The Argentine picked up a rare win in his first-round match, getting the better of fellow veteran David Goffin for the loss of only six games. But Sinner should be taking things one match at a time starting with a struggling Diego Schwartzman. The hard-hitting Italian is in the same quarter of the draw as two-time winner Novak Djokovic, which only adds to the intrigue. Playing for the first time since his Miami final defeat, Jannik Sinner is among the favourites this week in Monte Carlo. But who will secure their spot in the third round?
