Fraser-Pryce was quoted by the meet’s social media page, saying: “I’m having a lot of fun this year; breaking the 10.70-secs barrier has helped me a lot to gain confidence in my technique.”

“I’m delighted to be in Monaco; things have been great so far for me. I’m not putting pressure on myself. The most important lesson I learned as an athlete is to take things one step at a time,” added the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Olympic Games 100m champion.

“Tomorrow, I am hoping to improve the time I ran in Kingston,” she said.

British Virgin Islands’ Kyron McMaster will be first on track. He will take on world record holder Karsten Warholm and Alison dos Santos in the women’s 400m hurdles.

Jamaicans Shanieka Ricketts and Kimberly Williams will challenge world champion Yulimar Rojas in the women’s triple jump.

Rojas said: “I am in the best shape of my life. In Monaco, I always want to show the best performance possible. I try to improve all the time.”

Natoya Goule-Toppin, for the second time in a week, faces Rose Mary Almanaz in the women’s 800m. Goule-Toppin ran a season-best 1:56.44 to lose to Almanaz 1:56.28 at Sunday’s (4 July) Stockholm Diamond League meet in Sweden.
