Carlos Alcaraz has made a strong start to his title defence at the Monte-Carlo Masters this year.
The Spaniard, who hoisted the trophy for the first time last year, has beaten Sebastian Baez and Tomas Martin Etcheverry so far, and will take on Alexander Bublik next.
Alcaraz is bidding to claim a ninth ATP Masters 1000 title in Monte-Carlo, and a 27th tour-level crown overall.
After a shocking early exit at the Miami Open, he is also looking to bounce back in order to protect his position as the world number one.
