The first round of the Monte-Carlo Masters came to an end on Monday with the likes of Jannik Sinner and Hubert Hurkacz sealing their respective places in the second round. However, it was not a good day for senior statesmen as Stan Wawrinka and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga both suffered defeats.

Hurkacz beats Dellien in straight sets
11th seed Hubert Hurkacz also booked his place in the second round of the Monte-Carlo Masters. The Pole won in straight sets but Hugo Dellien did not make life easy for him.
The first set saw both players hold serve in the first 10 games before Hurkacz broke Dellien to love. The 25-year-old then held to take the opening set 7-5.
Hurkacz secured a break in the first game of the second set but Dellien managed to break back to level the score at 4-4. The Pole eventually broke for the second time to win the match and reach the second round, where he will face Pedro Martinez or Ugo Humbert.
Schwartzman comes from behind to beat Khachanov
12th seed Diego Schwartzman and Karen Khachanov played out one of the matches of the day.
The first set was tightly contested and went to a tie-break which the Russian won 7-5. However, Schwartzman showed his fighting prowess by winning the second set 6-3. He went on to take the third set by the same margin to win the match.
Schwartzman will square off against Marton Fucsovics in the second round of the Monte-Carlo Masters.
Wawrinka puts up a fight but loses to Bublik
Stan Wawrinka was back on the ATP tour for the first time in 13 months and put in a spirited effort against Alexander Bublik. The Swiss started brilliantly and took the first set 6-3. However, Bublik fought back to win the second set 7-5.
The Kazakh kept his momentum going in the third set and won it 6-2 to proceed to the second round where he will take on Pablo Carreno Busta. Despite the defeat, Wawrinka would have been pleased with the level of tennis he produced and will be looking forward to the rest of the season.
