Roger Federer to meet Novak Djokovic in Monte Carlo semis

Roger Federer’s quest to win a first career Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters title promises to be challenging from the start, as the three-time runner-up has been drawn into World No. 1 Novak Djokovic’s half of the draw.

Federer, playing his first competitive tennis since the Australian Open, could face either Thomaz Bellucci or Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in his second-round match (after bye), and would face 14th-seeded Roberto-Bautista Agut in the third round and 8th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarterfinals if the seeds hold.
