Monte Carlo Masters key players

World number one Novak Djokovic, who has won the event in both 2013 and 2015, is attempting to become the first player to complete a triple career Golden Masters - that is to win all nine Masters events on three occasions.

But that won’t be an easy feat on his first start since enduring an early exit to Luca Nardi in Indian Wells, especially given it is a star-studded field.

Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev are also in attendance along with reigning champion Rublev and German star Alexander Zverev.

There is also British interest with Cameron Norrie, Jack Draper and Dan Evans all hoping to put up a decent fight.

Monte Carlo Masters history

Having won the title on a record-setting 11 occasions, Nadal is by far the most decorated player in Monte Carlo Masters history.

The Spaniard first won the event in 2005 with his final success coming in 2018, but he is an injury absentee this year.

Rublev reigned supreme last season, having finished runner-up to Tsitsipas in 2021. The Greek star then defended his crown in 2022.

Alongside Tsitsipas, Djokovic is also a two-time winner of the event, while the only other two winners still performing on the ATP Tour are Stan Wawrinka (2014) and Fabio Fognini (2019).
