ATP Monte Carlo Masters 2025 Draw: Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic & Others Learn Their Fate

The Monte Carlo Masters main draw begins on Sunday.

Jun 3, 2024; Paris, France; Novak Djokovic of Serbia celebrates winning his match against Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina on day nine of Roland Garros at Stade Roland Garros.

The draw for the 2025 Rolex Monte Carlo Masters has been released on Friday. In such a high stakes tournament, there are no easy matches. The top seeds like Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will face a tough path if they are to reach the final. The focus will also be on three-time winner Stefanos Tsitsipas, who comes into the red dirt on the back of a disappointing spring in the USA.

The first of three clay court Masters-1000 events begins on April 6 at the Monte Carlo Country Club, and culminates on Sunday, April 13. It is played on outdoor clay courts, with a total of €6,128,940 up for grabs. Rafael Nadal is the most successful player at this competition – with 11 titles. However, 2025 marks the first clay court season after his retirement.

How does the draw shape up for the top seeds at the Monte Carlo Masters?
