Monday signalled Ladies Day at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, celebrated by a special one-set exhibition match between WTA World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark and 2010 Roland Garros champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy.

Wozniacki was beaten 6-4 on Court Central by the well-supported Schiavone, but enjoyed the experience of playing at the Monte-Carlo Country Club. “It’s an honour to play here and to play with Francesca,” said the Dane. “I know it’s a men’s tournament, but to be able to play a set here was unbelievable. It’s like my home here, I live just up the street, and Francesca has a lot of Italian fans here. I had fun.”

Female fans in attendance on Monday were presented with flowers and discount vouchers to use at Façonnable and Sergio Tacchini. There was also a poetry contest, a quiz about the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters and a fastest serve contest at Ricoh to take part in.
