The Monte-Carlo Masters is an annual tennis tournament for male professional players held in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, which borders on Monaco. It is played on clay courts at the Monte Carlo Country Club and is held in May. The tournament is part of the nine ATP Tour Masters 1000 events on the ATP Tour.

Rafael Nadal has won the men’s singles title a record eleven times. The event was founded in 1896 as the Monte-Carlo International. The following year the event officially became known as the Monte-Carlo Championships, also known as the Monte Carlo International Championships, which was a combined men’s and women’s tournament until 1982 when the women’s championships ceased.

The tournament was originally played on red shale clay courts of the Lawn Tennis de Monte-Carlo in cellars underneath the Grand Hôtel de Paris until 1905. In 1906 the event and club was moved to La Condamine where it was played between 1907 and 1914 and again in 1920. It became an “Open” event in 1969. In 1990 it became an ATP Championship Series Single Week tennis event (later called the Masters series).

Beginning in 2009, Monte Carlo became the only Masters tournament not to have a mandatory player commitment. Rafael Nadal won the title eight consecutive times between 2005 and 2012, making him the only tennis player to win eight consecutive titles at the same tournament. In 2018, Nadal won his eleventh title over Kei Nishikori, the all-time record.

The 2023 Monte Carlo Masters was won by Andrey Rublev. However, the draw of 2023 Monte Carlo Masters was breath-taking.
