 What's going on everybody welcome back to another draw preview and we have the Monte Carlo Masters the second ATP 1000 event of the year and it's really the start of the clay court season a lot of big names are playing But a lot of names are not playing so these are the players that are pulled out of the tournament We have bornichurch. He's out John is not playing Nishikori is not playing Opelka Dominic team isn't playing so very interesting to see that he's not in and Stanford rinker is also not playing this event All right, let's start at the top quarter of the draw We have 16 seeds in this event and the top eight seeds get a buy in the first round. No back jockovic He's the number one seed first time since winning the Australian open. We get to see no way he gets a buy in the first round He'll play the winner of a no less or sinner in the second round So we could potentially have sinner versus jockovic in the second round Which is going to be an absolute epic that we have Evans versus live itch winner of that's going to play either a Qualifier or the number 13 seed and Miami open champion who be her catch So jockovic has a tough draw to start the week. Then we have the number 11 seed goffin versus marin chilech That's a huge first round match circle that one as must watch winner of that match is going to play a qualifier in the second round Because we've got two qualies going at it Then we have sonny go versus foots of itch winner of that's going to play against number five seed sashes varev So this is a stacked part of the draw the top quarter of the draw Of course, you got to watch out for Zverev and jockovic But watch out for sinner and her catch and let's see how they can convert their games from the hard court onto the clay All right second quarter of the draw now. We've got the number four seed since he passed He's up the top get to buy in the first round He's got a tough second round because he's got a play against the winner of mousetti or carats in the second round So a huge second round matchup there not to mention mousetti versus carats That's a huge first round circle that one is must watch Then we've got milman versus umbear winner That's going to play the ojali a seam the number 16 seed garen So another huge first round matchup between fai and garen on the clay court So keep an eye on that match then we have the number 10 seed mod fees against undoha winner That's going to play the Pella or pui in the second round Then we have dabba dovic versus dimon or winner of that's going to play in about eight seed Baratini in the second round so some big names to watch out for in here Of course, you got to watch out for city pass But also watch out for carrots of a mousetti and I'm keeping an eye on ojali a seam because he actually has a brand new Coach and it's uncle Tony Nadal's uncle is coaching fai so I'm going to be keen to see how fai does this week as well All right, let's go to the third quarter of the draw We've got the number six seed roublev by in the first round He'll take on the winner of a qualifier or the wild card Katarina in the second round then we have paul versus a qualifier winner That's going to play another massive first round fritz or the number nine seed batista agus So another huge first round there then we have the number 14 seed demitrov against struff winner That's going to play the shadi or bublek in the second round Then we have qualifier versus manorino winner of that gets to take on number three seed And the god of clay raffa nadal in that second round So obviously we're all watching out for raffa in this one He is the god of clay and also keep an eye on roublev as well because he might have to play raffa in the quarter finals But I'm all so interested to see how fritz does because fritz has had a great week to start the clay court season off this week So even you can transfer that into a bigger tournament And if you can get through rba in the first round then maybe he can cause some problems for those big seeds All right bottom part of the draw now We have the number seven seed schwarzman he gets to buy in the first round He'll take on the winner of the wild card rune or rudd in the second round Then we have hashenov versus jera winner That's going to play either a qualifier or the number 12 seed rino buster in the second round Then we've got the number 15 seed finini taking on kejmenovich winner That's going to take on either tompson or pair who are playing in the first round Then we've got cryanovich versus basilash vili winner That's going to take on number two seed danil mevadev Who we all know at this point is a meme when he's playing on clay Can he win a match let alone win a couple of matches here we'll find out together But for mevadev it's a tough start because basilash really and cryanovich pretty good on the clay court So he's going to have to watch out But of course we're going to be watching mevadev schwarzman But also keep an eye on the wild card rune who's been practicing with jokovic the last couple of weeks And has a little bit of a hype behind him so watch out for rune as well as the two big seeds in this one So there it is the mondi carlo masters for 2021 and it is a stacked draw not too many big names missing We've obviously got team verb rink of federa is not playing as well, but we've got raffa We've got no le and we've got mevadev city pass vera as well. So let me know down in the comments below Who do you think's going to win this event? It's a stacked event anybody could win There's a little bit of a tricky tournament to predict because some of the big names haven't played on clay this year So it's very hard to pick city pass or is vera with mevadev because we haven't seen them on the clay courts So i'm going to go with the easy answer and i'm going to go with raffa nadal I think he's going to start the clay court season with a bang as he does every year So i'm going to go with raffa nadal to win the tournament as the number three seed again Let me know down in the comments below who you picking for this one So the mondi carlo masters is missing a couple of names, but it is an absolute stacked event
