DAY 2 FEDEX ATP HEAD 2 HEADS – in Order of Play by Court MONTE-CARLO ROLEX MASTERS: DAY 2 MEDIA NOTES Monday, April 11, 2016 Monte-Carlo Country Club, Monte-Carlo, Monaco | April 10-17, 2016 Draw: S-56, D-24 | Prize Money: €3,748,925 | Surface: Outdoor Clay ATP Info: Tournament Info: ATP PR & Marketing: www.ATPWorldTour.com www.MonteCarloTennisMasters.com Nanette Duxin: [email protected] @ATPWorldTour @MCRolexMasters Florent Girod: [email protected] facebook.com/ATPWorldTour facebook.com/MonteCarloRolexMasters Stephanie Natal: [email protected] instagram.com/ATPWorldTour instagram.com/MonteCarloRolexMastersOfficial Press Room: +33 4 93 41 79 58 TEENS ZVEREV, RUBLEV FACE OFF; MONFILS, GASQUET, RAONIC IN ACTION DAY 2 PREVIEW: There are 13 singles and four doubles matches scheduled on the second day of the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters. Six seeds are in action on Monday – No. 9 Richard Gasquet, No. 10 Milos Raonic, No. 12 Dominic Thiem, No. 13 Gael Monfils, No. 14 Roberto Bautista Agut and No. 16 Benoit Paire – while nine players are set to make their singles debut at the Monte-Carlo Country Club. Two 18-year-old Monte-Carlo debutants part of the Next Generation open the action on Court Rainier III as Germany’s Alexander Zverev faces wild card Andrey Rublev of Russia for the first time on the ATP World Tour. The teenagers played each other three times on the ITF Juniors circuit in 2013, with Zverev – the older of the two by exactly six months – winning two of the three encounters, both on clay. Zverev is making his fifth ATP Masters 1000 main-draw appearance after a career-best run to the fourth round at Indian Wells, where he held one match point before losing to No. 5 Rafael Nadal. Rublev is playing in the third ATP Masters 1000 tournament of his career (2015-16 Miami). Monfils, a quarter-finalist at the season’s opening ATP Masters 1000 events at Indian Wells (l. to Raonic) and Miami (l. to Nishikori), faces Monte-Carlo debutant Gilles Muller in the second match on Court Rainier III. The Frenchman, who has also reached the quarters at the Australian Open (l. to Raonic) and the Rotterdam final (l. to Klizan) so far this season, will be looking to emulate his run to the semi-finals here in 2015 (l. to Berdych) on his 10th appearance in Monte-Carlo. Muller has played just one previous clay-court main draw match at the ATP Masters 1000 level, losing in the first round in Madrid to Leonardo Mayer in 2015. But the Luxembourg native won the only other showdown with the No. 13 seed, prevailing in three sets at last year’s ATP Masters 1000 Montreal. No. 9 seed Gasquet and Nicolas Almagro, third up on Rainier III, have three wins apiece in their head-to-head rivalry. No. 10 seed Raonic opens his clay court season with a first-time encounter with Italian wild card Marco Cecchinato, whose sole match win of the season came on clay in Buenos Aires. Among the highlights on the other three courts showcasing first-round action on Monday, No. 12 seed Thiem attempts to win his 25th match of the season (only Djokovic, with 28, has more) and first in Monte- Carlo against German qualifier Jan-Lennard Struff in the final match on Court Des Princes, while No. 16 seed Paire closes the Court 9 action against Spain’s Inigo Cervantes. Wild card Lucas Pouille’s Court 2 showdown with Nicolas Mahut guarantees that one of the seven Frenchmen in action today will reach the second round, while another – qualifier Pierre-Hugues Herbert – goes in search of his first ATP World Tour match win against a left-hander (0-3) when he takes on Argentine Guido Pella.

Both will aim to use home advantage to have a good run here this year – Monfils will look for a repeat of his 2008 performance when he reached the semifinals, while Pouille will hope to emulate the form he displayed in reaching the last 4 at the Australian Open in January to impress the home fans in Paris. • Monte Carlo champion Fabio Fognini takes on fellow Italian Andreas Seppi in the first match on Court Simonne Mathieu today.

    DECISION OF THE INTERNATIONAL TENNIS FEDERATION UNDER THE 2017 TENNIS ANTI-DOPING PROGRAMME IN THE CASE OF THOMAZ BELLUCCI I. Introduction 1. The International Tennis Federation (the ITF) is the international governing body for the sport of tennis. Further to its obligations as a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code (the Code) and its responsibilities as custodian of the sport, the ITF has issued the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (TADP), which sets out Code-compliant anti-doping rules applicable to players competing in 'Covered Events' (as defined in TADP Article 1.10). 2. Thomaz Bellucci is a 29 year-old professional tennis player from Brazil. He turned professional in 2005, at the age of 17, and is currently ranked 113 in singles and 406 in doubles, having reached career-high ATP rankings of 21 in singles in 2010 and 70 in doubles in 2013. He competed in the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil and regularly competes on the ATP World Tour, having won four competitions on that tour from 2009 to 2013. 3. By signing the ATP player consent form on 8 January 2017, thereby expressly agreeing to be bound by the TADP, and by his subsequent participation in Covered Events, Mr Bellucci has at all material times been bound by and required to comply with the provisions of the TADP. 4. In September 2017, Mr Bellucci was charged with the commission of an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) under TADP Article 2.1, in that a prohibited substance and its metabolite had been found in a urine sample he provided in a drugs test conducted in July 2017.

    2010 News Page 1 of 22 The Website of Maria Bueno, Tennis Champion MARIA ESTHER’S BIRTHDAY, Sao Paulo, 11 October 2011 Maria celebrated her birthday in some style on 11 October in Sao Paulo. She kicked off with the tennis team (pictured right) at her home club, the Sociedade Harmonia de Tênis where the chef produced three birthday cakes, which she shared with friends, members and staff, and later, she had lunch with her family (pictured left). “It was a wonderful day that I got to share with all the people who support me,” said Maria Esther. “I really appreciate all the help they give me so this is a very small way to say thank you!” TV Globo’s special on Brazil’s contribution to Formula I and stock car racing, which featured Maria Esther, was aired that night. ‘Linha de Chegada’ (or ‘The Finish Line’) was hosted by Reginaldo Leme who interviewed Maria Esther and stock car racer Max Wilson (pictured right), both of whom have had successful careers and understand the needs of training away from their respective sports in order to be able to perform fully in competition. Max Wilson said: “The physics of tennis is very much part of the sport than in racing. “I'm not a tennis player, but I try to my improve my fitness as a tennis player because motorsport requires more than just driving. So, I'll be more prepared than I need for the races.” Born in Germany, Max Wilson grew up in the neighborhood of Interlagos and has always been passionate about speed.
