Saturday, April 13th in the Monte-Carlo Casino Square at the foot of the Salle Empire, Hotel de Paris the public were entertained with a display of tennis by the world’s best plalyers. Monegasque resident Novak Djokovic (ATP No 1) winner of the 2013 Australian Open and finalist last year in Monaco, faced British Andy Murray (ATP No 2), winner of the Olympic Games and the US Open in 2012 who became the world’s number two after his recent victory at the ATP Masters 1000 in Miami.

What better way to celebrate the 150 years of the Societe des Bains de Mer (SBM) by hosting this exceptional display by these top players. Just a preview of what’s to come during the 107th edition of the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, the first major European tournament to open the clay season, and that kicked off today at the Monte-Carlo Country Club and will continue until Sunday, April 21st.
