This is a Masters 1000 / WTA 1000 event, 1,000 ranking points to each singles winner, mandatory for the top of the rankings, and the second tier of importance after the Slams. A title here can lift a player twenty rungs up the rankings.

The 2026 edition of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters has wrapped. The recap, full results and dates for the 2027 edition are below.
The conditions
Clay is the slowest surface on tour. The ball sits up, points stretch, and the heaviest topspin tends to dictate. At Monte-Carlo, court coverage and patience usually count more than raw power, the rally runs longer here than anywhere else on hard court.
Court Rainier III sits cliffside above the Mediterranean, the most picturesque arena in tennis. The clay is heavy, the wind off the sea is real, and there is no women's draw.
Storylines for 2026
- Monte Carlo is men-only, the only Masters 1000 without a WTA draw.
- Tsitsipas owns this clay venue; Alcaraz won in 2024 to claim his first Monte Carlo crown.
- The Mediterranean clay plays slow and high, the most demanding test of clay technique on tour.
