“At the end of the day, it is Monaco,” third-ranked Federer told a news conference before the start of the tournament. The Swiss national, who has yet to win Monte Carlo even though he’s appeared in three finals, yesterday started his clay-court season with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Germany’s Philipp Kohlschreiber.
“It remains an interesting location for players and fans and media,” Federer said. “It’s the beginning of the clay- court season. It would have kept its mystique. But at the same time, I really felt it deserved a Masters 1,000 status and that’s why Rafa and myself fought for it, because we thought tradition was still a very important part of our game.”
