An eventful day 3 awaits us in Montpellier where Denis Shapovalov starts his campaign as he will be joined by 5 Frenchman on the courts
Today's day will feature 5 matches as opposed to
yesterday's 6 and the home crowd in Montpellier will have plenty of tennis to enjoy and cheer on for their hometown heroes as 5 of them will play. The day kicks off with Mannarino against Popyrin an intriguing matchup between an up and coming Australian who will look to build upon a solid Australian Summer.
After that, we will have a clash of generations when the 21-year old Humbert plays against the 38-year old Feliciano Lopez. After them, we will have an all-French duel between old friends Simon and Gasquet. It will be a spectacle and a joy for the Montpellier crowd.
After that, we will see
Grigor Dimitrov on the courts who received a Wild Card entry. He will face yet another Frenchman in Barrere and will look to rectify a lackluster showing in Australia. The day will be closed by the aforementioned Shapovalov who is set to face Vasek Pospisil in an all-Canadian clash.
All in all, it should be an eventful day in Montpellier with many quality players playing.
