Millman has struggled to start the season (2-8), while Humbert is 6-7 with mixed results this year, his best results have come in France with semis in Marseille and a quarterfinal in Montpellier. Given the surface and the venue, Humbert should extend Millman&#8217;s poor record for the season. The Australian did win last week but that&#8217;s not enough to make him the favorite here. <strong>Humbert in 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Tommy Paul vs Pedro Martinez<\/h3>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1307499178\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1307499178?et=hX43C_N7R4RV3vKPoMz8uw&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=1f9mWesylFxSCkczxxTa5M7tMxgR1I0lFuBACvWe6bI=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s the lucky loser Martinez (2-5 on the year) vs the American Paul (5-8) as both players look for a bit of form here. Paul is not a pushover on clay (former French Open Junior champion) but he hasn&#8217;t played as much of his pro career on the surface. Martinez has a small track record on the season but clay is a good surface for him and this match feels like a slight upset. <strong>Martinez in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Fabio Fognini vs Miomir Kecmanovic<\/h3>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1231777020\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.498314% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1231777020?et=gDJvwkkLQuVhOuHQSz2yzg&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=7bq7eB0DxXBKO849rvqJ77YZ6ibRXyZl8v7otb3xmN0=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"395\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Both players sport identical 7-8 records on the season though Fognini&#8217;s overall ATP resume is far longer. Kecmanovic was a semifinalist in Buenos Aires while Fognini has his career best winning % on clay (58%), a prediction isn&#8217;t easy here, but Fognini&#8217;s poor showing in Marbella, losing in straight sets and winning just three games in his opening round match doesn&#8217;t bode well. Advantage to Kecmanovic. <strong>Kecmanovic in 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Guido Pella vs Lucas Pouille<\/h3>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1174669215\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1174669215?et=gqnz-s7SSSJ4F5tbUvd-IQ&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=bN4OsSKTmL7pnTyitzVMU4usihYIDuPwXlFjvxxQElo=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Both players have been limited this season, with Pella struggling at 1-4 and Pouille taking it slow as he recovers from elbow surgery. The French wild card has stayed in Europe playing a mix of ATP and challenger tour matches and compiling a 3-7 record. Pouille is hard to read right now but Pella&#8217;s poor form means the Frenchman is well positioned to get a win. <strong>Pouille in 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1311614380\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1311614380?et=bwnwn57QTMxARhl8DtmiHw&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=_mfiTG7z5hMxPTu1740ZyL1sbUdhsrthdEKzXPOvINI=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monte Carlo&#8217;s Masters 1000 tournament heralds the start of the European clay court season for 2021.
