(13) Verdasco d. Dodig, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1
—Verdasco arrived in Monte Carlo 0-6 when losing the first set in 2012, but scored his second straight comeback victory. The 2010 Monte Carlo finalist wasn't exactly attacking his first serve (he served 80 percent for the match; 90 percent in the third set), but won nine of 10 points on Dodig's second serve in the third set and will face fourth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga next.

Fognini d. Llodra, 7-5, 6-3
Cilic d. Bolelli, 6-3, 6-4

Wednesday's Order of Play
(9) Simon vs. Gil [Court Central]
(1) Djokovic v. Seppi [Court Central]
(2) Nadal v. Nieminen [Court Central]
(5) Ferrer v. Bellucci [Court Central]
(16) Dolgopolov v. Tomic [Court des Princes]
—On a day in which world No. 1 Djokovic and seven-time champion Nadal play back-to-back on Court Central, this compelling match between two quirky characters staged on Court Des Princes could entertain. Tomic rallied from a two-set deficit to beat Dologopolov in a five-set thriller at the Australian Open in January; both love the drop shot, share a flair for finesse, and are skilled driving the ball down the line. Dolgopolov has won three of four meetings with the new Monte Carlo resident, is quicker around the court, and better on dirt: his lone title came on clay in Umag last year. The Pick: Dolgopolov
(15) Melzer v. Benneteau [Court des Princes]
(6) Berdych v. Cilic [Court des Princes]
(12) Nishikori v. Mathieu [Court des Princes]
(7) Tipsarevic v. Montanes [Court 2]
(8) Almagro v. Starace [Court 2]
Kukushkin v. Volandri [Court 9]
Haase v. Fognini [Court 9]
Andujar v. Wawrinka [Court 11]
