World number 13 Taylor Fritz will take on the Monégasque Lucas Catarina in the first round of the 2022 ATP Monte Carlo Masters on Monday.
Taylor Fritz is having an amazing run in 2022 so far. He was recently crowned as the Indian Wells Open 2022 Champion after defeating Nadal straight sets. But Fritz went on to exit the Miami Open in the third round after loosing to in form Kecmanovic. It will be interesting to watch if Fritz is able to take his golden form into the clay court season. Fritz should win against Catarina with relative ease and will face either Cilic or Tsonga in the next round.
Lucas Catarina won the ITF Tunisia F13 title without dropping a set in March. But, he has not won a single match since then. He exited the next three challenger tournaments he played in the very first round. The Monte Carlo Masters will be his first ATP event of this year and it will be a great experience for the Monégasque to face a player like Taylor Fritz in his home country.
