Rafael Nadal will make his 2014 European clay court swing debut at the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters in the R2 match against Russian Qualifier Teymuraz Gabashvili, who defeated Gilles Simon to reach this stage.

Rafa is chasing a new landmark today. He equaled Brian Gottfried (679) in 12th place on the all-time wins list in Miami and a win today would see him surpass the American.
