Nicolas Jarry defeated Borna Coric 6–2, 6–3 in the first round of the Monte Carlo Masters on clay on 9 April 2023, an upset victory against the pre-match favourite. Coric entered as the odds-on preference at 1.88, whilst Jarry came in as the slight underdog at 2.01, yet the Chilean produced a dominant performance to advance comfortably in straight sets. Jarry's decisive scoreline suggests he found his rhythm early on the Monégasque surface, controlling the rallies and breaking serve at crucial junctures to secure both sets with relative ease. The result marks a significant statement from Jarry in the Masters 1000 draw and represents a notable setback for Coric's clay-court campaign.
