Monte-Carlo Masters Begins April 6 with Djokovic

The 2025 Monte-Carlo Masters, the first ATP Masters 1000 event on clay, is set to begin on April 6, featuring top players like Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev. Djokovic, a two-time champion at the event, is particularly focused on capturing his 100th ATP title after a near miss at the Miami Open. The tournament, with a prize pool of €6,128,940, will see Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz as the top seeds following Jannik Sinner's suspension. Djokovic is slated to face Alejandro Tabilo in the second round; Tabilo previously defeated Djokovic in their only encounter. This event marks Djokovic's 18th appearance at the Monte-Carlo Masters, where he has a strong history, including victories in 2013 and 2015. The tournament is anticipated to draw 140,000 attendees to the Monte Carlo Country Club, a prestigious venue with a rich history dating back to 1893.
