Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori immediately out in Monte Carlo

Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori walked out of the first round of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000. The Italian pair, which started with the favorable odds, was defeated in a surprise defeat by the Bopanna/Shelton duo (6-2 6-7 7-10).

Everything easy in the first set for Bolelli/Vavassori, who flew to 3-0 in a flash and repeated the break lead in the eighth game that coincided with the conquest of the first partial (6-2) after just 28 minutes of play.

The script seemed not to change in the second set as well, with the Blue quickly rising to 4-1. Here, however, comes the reaction of the Indo-American pair that recovers the break disadvantage (4-4) and drags the set to the tie-break, winning it by 7 points to 4.

The super tie-break was played in the second set.

The super tie-break starts badly for Bolelli/Vavassori, who find themselves down 0-4 in no time. Thanks to two winners, however, the Italian pair came back under (5-5) but a Vavassori flight error on 7-7 paved the way for Shelton/Bopanna who closed 10-7.
