Matteo Berrettini<\/a> and Andrea Vavassori<\/a> pulled out a powerful finish to clinch a hard-earned first-round victory on Monday at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters<\/a>. <\/p>\n Competing as wild cards at the ATP Masters 1000 event, the Italian duo overcame Alex de Minaur<\/a> and Cameron Norrie<\/a> 6-4, 4-6, 10-5. Berrettini and Vavassori won 83 per cent (34\/41) of points behind first serves, according to Infosys ATP Stats, and raised their level late to crucially win seven of the final 10 points of the Match Tie-break. <\/p>\n The No. 15 player in the PIF ATP Doubles Rankings, Vavassori is more than familiar with his team’s next opponents in Monte-Carlo: third seeds Harri Heliovaara<\/a> and Henry Patten<\/a>. At the Miami Open presented by Itau<\/a> last month, Vavassori and his regular partner Simone Bolelli<\/a> downed Heliovaara and Patten to claim their maiden Masters 1000 trophy. <\/p>\n You May Also Like: Sinner\/Bergs prevail in star-studded Monte-Carlo doubles opener<\/a><\/p>\n There was joy for local fans early on Monday in Monaco, where home favourite and defending champion Romain Arneodo<\/a> and his French partner Pierre-Hugues Herbert<\/a> defeated Maximo Gonzalez<\/a> and Andres Molteni<\/a> 7-6(6), 3-6, 10-5.
