Monte Carlo Masters Day 3: Baez, Rublev Advance as Wawrinka and Tsitsipas Exit

Posted : 08 April 2026

Day three of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters delivered a mix of surprises, emerging talent, and hard-fought victories as the clay-court season gathered momentum in Monaco. With several seeded players entering the fray, the tournament began to take shape with early exits and statement performances.

Argentine clay specialist Sebastian Baez continued his strong form by overcoming veteran Stan Wawrinka in straight sets. The win marked a significant moment for Baez, who now advances to face world number one Carlos Alcaraz in what promises to be one of the standout clashes of the next round.

There was also disappointment for Stefanos Tsitsipas, a former champion in Monte Carlo, who suffered an early exit after losing in straight sets to Francisco Cerundolo. Tsitsipas’ struggles against top-level opponents on clay continue to raise questions as the French Open approaches.

Meanwhile, Andrey Rublev, the 2023 champion, battled through a three-set contest to secure his place in the next round. His resilience under pressure highlighted his experience on the surface as he looks to mount another deep run in the principality.

Elsewhere, France’s Arthur Rinderknech produced an impressive performance to eliminate a seeded opponent, delighting the home crowd. Rising Czech star Jiri Lehecka also progressed after a tough three-set encounter, underlining the depth of talent in the draw.

With top seeds entering the competition and several intriguing matchups on the horizon, Day 3 set the tone for an exciting week at one of tennis’ most prestigious clay-court events. The battle for the Monte Carlo crown is intensifying, with both established names and emerging contenders vying for supremacy.
