Ten burning questions for Monte Carlo M1000, 2022

But he hasn't faced Schwarzman on clay. True that he's not at his best, but playing him on clay is a very different story. And Tsitsipas is much tougher on clay than FAA (and I like Felix much better)

He hasn't faced Schwartzman on clay, but I think Musetti likes clay better than hard courts, too. He has a good chance, if he plays like he did today.

As far as Tsitsipas, he has looked a little flat recently. The match against Fognini was very promising, but Fabio has not had a great year.

I don't know, someone gave me a good excuse to use this gif so I used it.

That's ok. If FAA wins tomorrow, it will be a surprise, but a good surprise.

Got arguably the most important ones wrong though lol

All your burning questions are not burning at all. Novak doesn't care about masters anymore and peak for slam and i am sure Djokodal fans don't care for masters either. Djokovic is playing MC just to get match practice , he won't lose his sleep over MC.

These weren't bad questions in retrospect, no?

Stef recaptured his mojo, Nole was rusty, Zed had a good run (but #ABZ strikes again), Sinner looked like a real winner against Zed, and Runey not only made it to the main draw but gave Ruud some trouble.

And Alcaraz didn't make the qf. Plus 2 americans faced each other for question #4.
