Tomas Martin Etcheverry vs Terence Atmane — R32 — Monte-Carlo Masters

Etcheverry dropped the opener 6-3 and rerouted the match through the return game, converting 4 of 6 break points to Atmane's 2 of 5. The flip came in the second set, where Etcheverry broke in games four and eight after trading the early break — then ran the third on breaks in games one and three. Atmane's error count is the story: 40 unforced to Etcheverry's 19, with the Frenchman winning just 39% of second-return points. A match point came and went before Etcheverry closed it. Carlos Alcaraz is next, with Etcheverry now 2-0 in the head-to-head.
