One of the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournaments on the planet begins this weekend, with the world’s leading male tennis players gearing up for the 117th edition of the Monte Carlo Masters. Played near-annually since 1896 at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, an area just on the French side of their border with Monaco, it’s one of just nine events on the ATP Masters 1000 tour.
The quality of this year’s tournament is shown in the player rankings, with 2023 champion Andrey Rublev seeded fifth behind Daniil Medvedev, Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and world number one Novak Djokovic. However, there’s no women’s tournament with the Monte Carlo Masters being an ATP-only events.
The record winner of the tournament is Spanish veteran Rafael Nadal, who isn’t competing this time around and won’t be adding to his 11 titles at Monte-Carlo in 2024. Eight of those came consecutively between 2005 and 2012 and he’s only ever lost once in the final — the 2013 decider to 2024’s number one seed, Djokovic.

Unlike tournaments such as the Miami Open though, the competition at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is for male players only and not a part of the WTA Tour.
Qualifying for the first round begins on Saturday, April 6 2024, getting underway at 11:00 a.m. local time (CET). The first round proper starts the following day as the qualifiers conclude, and play continues every day as the draw gets smaller and smaller. This will all conclude with the final on Sunday, April 14, with the Doubles final beginning at 12:00 p.m. and the singles decider taking place from 3:00 p.m. local time.
