The first clay-court ATP Masters 1000 event of the 2025 campaign will take place in Monte Carlo, and the entry list is packed with stars.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Monte Carlo Masters, which will be staged from April 6-13, will be the 118th edition of the historic tournament.<\/p>\n
Stefanos Tsitsipas is the reigning champion, having defeated Casper Ruud in the 2024 final to secure his third Monte Carlo crown.<\/p>\n
World No 1 Jannik Sinner will not feature as he remains sidelined by a doping ban that will expire on May 4.<\/p>\n
The Monte Carlo singles main draw will feature 56 players, a total including 44 direct entrants, eight qualifiers and four wildcards.<\/p>\n
Richard Gasquet has received a wildcard for what will be his final appearance in Monte Carlo, with the former world No 7 set to retire at this year\u2019s French Open. The other three wildcards are yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
No players on the original main draw entry have withdrawn from the tournament. Besides Sinner, world No 13 Tommy Paul is the most notable absentee, with the American choosing not to compete.<\/p>\n
Miami Open winner Jakub Mensik was set to have to navigate the qualifying draw in Monte Carlo as his entry ranking was below the main draw cut-off, but the Czech has withdrawn.<\/p>\n
Zhizhen Zhang, Roman Safiullin and\u00a0Yoshihito Nishioka have also pulled out of qualifying.<\/p>\n
Three former champions are set to play: Novak Djokovic (2013 and 2015), Stefanos Tsitsipas (2021, 2022 and 2024) and Andrey Rublev (2023).<\/p>\n
Stan Wawrinka (2014) and Fabio Fognini (2019) are the only other active players to win the Monte Carlo title, and they will need a wildcard to play as their current rankings are not high enough.<\/p>\n
