Pella pounds Cilic for Monte Carlo upset win

Argentina’s Guido Pella celebrates winning his second round Monte Carlo Masters match against Croatia’s Marin Cilic at Monte-Carlo Country Club, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin April 16, 2019. — Reuters pic

Pella, who won his first career match at the event in the first round on Sunday, emerged a winner as he played on the idyllic centre court for the first time.“I was a bit nervous at the start, it was my first time on this court. But playing here is a dream — it’s unreal.” Top seed Novak Djokovic was set to begin his pre-Roland Garros campaign later, facing Philipp Kohlschreiber, who beat him last month in the Indian Wells third round.

The 56th-ranked Norrie was impressed with the dramatic setting of the iconic Monte Carlo Country Club venue which overlooks the Mediterranean from a cliff.“It’s pretty sick kind of playing tennis on the side of a mountain with a water view.”
