Meanwhile, the video showcases eight players participating, which means it was recorded ahead of their quarterfinal list. Arthur Fils has crashed out from the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 tournament after losing to Carlos Alcaraz. The 21-year-old star player seems one of the strong contenders to win the title here after storming into the semi-finals.

In addition, Aussie sensation Alex de Minaur has defeated Grigor Dimitrov in another quarter-final round. The Bulgarian had showcased stellar form, but surprisingly, he failed to dominate against De Minaur.

On the other hand, Lorenzo Musetti defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarterfinal showdown. The Italian has ended the Greek star's title defence here and made it to the semi-final of the ATP 1000 Masters.
