Tuesday promises to be a busy day at the Open Nice Côte d’Azur, which must compensate for the overly rainy Monday that prevented tennis players from playing outside. An avalanche of matches is expected, with the French clash between Roger Vasselin and Paire in the early afternoon and the first evening session featuring the Dutchman Haase against the Spaniard Ferrero. We can only hope the weather will be less unpredictable, with clearings expected in the early afternoon according to Météo France.
