The Monte-Carlo Masters is a prestigious clay-court tournament and one of the nine ATP Masters 1000 events on the ATP Tour.
Held at the esteemed Monte-Carlo Country Club on the outskirts of Monaco, the Monte-Carlo Masters is typically held at the start of April and marks the commencement of the clay-court season.
We take a look at the previous winners of the tournament.
If there was a throne at the Monte-Carlo Country Club, it would belong to Rafael Nadal.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion won an unprecedented 11 titles at the Monte-Carlo Masters, including a run of eight successive triumphs from 2005 to 2012, making him the only male tennis player in the Open Era to win eight consecutive titles at the same international tournament.
Nadal's superiority in the Principality was quite frankly obscene, with the Spaniard only tasting defeat on six occasions.
Since the start of the Open Era, a total of 12 players are multiple winners of the Monte-Carlo Masters.
Ilie Năstase, Bjorn Borg, and Thomas Muster are three-time winners of the tournament, while Stefanos Tsitsipas is the latest to join the exclusive group after winning the event three times in four years from 2021.
Mats Wilander is the youngest winner of the Monte-Carlo Masters having triumphed at the age of 18 years, seven months and seven days in 1983 when he defeated American Matt Purcell in straight sets.
Carlos Alcaraz is the defending champion in 2026.
