– Juan Monaco, the 2012 champion here, is looking for his 200th career clay court match win. He would be the fifth active player to reach that milestone joining Rafael Nadal (298-21), David Ferrer (267-105), Tommy Robredo (235-104) and Nicolas Almagro (234-112).

– Hewitt’s victory Tuesday gives him a 601-242 career record. He is only the third active player with more than 600 match wins, joining Roger Federer (947-219) and Rafael Nadal (679-132).

– The Bryan brothers are four-time Fayez Sarofim & Co. US Men’s Clay Court Championship winners. They are 28-7 all-time at the event, and have won 20 of their last 21 matches at the tournament.

– In honor of this being the 80th tournament to be hosted at River Oaks, a special exhibit showcasing the history of the event is on display near Becks Prime on the tournament grounds. It includes photographs from past tournaments as well as memorabilia on loan from the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
