The European clay-court swing gets underway with the crown jewel of April, the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, beginning. Rafael Nadal remains at the top of the ATP rankings with no change in points, while Richard Gasquet and Milos Raonic are up 1 spot each to 9 and 10 respectively.

In the Race to London Rafa is still behind Novak Djokovic like he was last week. VAMOS RAFA!
