The Greek world number seven had a first round bye and came into the tournament on the back of a third title triumph in Monte Carlo and a runner-up showing in Barcelona in the previous two weeks.But the left-handed Monteiro looked more comfortable on court, benefitting from having already won three matches this week, through qualifying and the main draw.

Since the start of 2021, this is just the second time in 11 Masters clay tournaments where Tsitsipas has not made at least the quarter-finals, and the 25-year-old Greek was disappointed by his performance.“I felt out of rhythm the entire match on my returns. I felt very disbalanced and just my body was going all over the place.

Through to the third round in Madrid for the second time in three appearances, the top seed will face Jordan Thompson or Pavel Kotov for a place in the last 16.“I feel like if you serve well here it’s a huge weapon,” said the 22-year-old Italian. Over on Manolo Santana stadium, last year’s women’s finalist Swiatek eased past Romanian Sorana Cirstea 6-1, 6-1 to book a fourth-round meeting with home favourite Sara Sorribes Tormo or ex-world number one Victoria Azarenka.
