Michael Llodra, who entered the event as a Wild Card, went to the nearby town of Grasse to visit the facilities of the BIOT factory, the official glass supplier of the Masters Series Monte-Carlo presented by Rolex. Once he was informed about all the glass making process, Llodra tried it himself with some interesting results.

The Frenchman went on his day off after defeating Boris Pashanski in the first round and will play Nicolas Kiefer in the second round.
