All about the Monte Carlo Masters

One of the oldest and most traditional tennis championships, the Monte Carlo tournament was first held in 1897. It later became known as the Monte Carlo Open, before becoming part of the Masters Series in the early 1990's.

Today, it is a top tournament with a Monte Carlo "glam" factor that few other venues can equal.

The storied tennis courts of Monte Carlo include a roster of winners including Bjorn Borg (in 1977, 1979, and 1980), Ilie Năstase (1971-73), and Argentina's Guillermo Vilas (1976, 1982).

In one famous battle, Novak Djokovic faced Spanish champ and 'King of Clay' Rafael Nadal to win the 2013 tournament, putting a stop to Nadal's record-breaking eight consecutive wins at Monte Carlo from 2005-2012.

In 2014, it was dark horse Stanislas "Stan" Wawrinka who won the title against the tennis legend, followed by another victory by Novak Djokovic in 2015. In recent years, however, Nadal was has claimed back-to-back victories in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

In 2019, Nadal lost to Fabio Fognini. The following year, the 2020 Monte Carlo Masters was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, and most recently the young Stefanos Tsitsipas has been tearing up the court at Monte Carlo for an upset and his first major win in 2021 followed by his second in 2022.
