The tournament has existed since 1897 under the name Monte-Carlo Tennis Championship. It was later renamed the Monte-Carlo Country Club, and it wasn’t until 2006 that the Country Club joined forces with the famous watch brand that we know today as the Rolex Monte-Carlo Tennis Masters. It is a 100% men’s tournament, singles and doubles, although women also played until 1982.
The Rolex Monte-Carlo Tennis Masters brings together the 56 best clay-court players in a knockout draw comprising six rounds. Matches are played in two sets with a tie-break in each set. The doubles tournament pits 24 teams against 48 players in a five-round knockout tournament. Of these teams, the eight highest-ranked are seeded and are exempt from the first round.
Tickets for the Rolex Monte-Carlo Tennis Masters can only be purchased on the Country Club’s official website. Tickets from other sales sites will be refused at the entrance.
Transport tip: Thanks to your entry ticket for the Rolex Monte-Carlo Tennis Masters, you can use Monaco’s public transport system free of charge throughout the day, giving you the opportunity to visit the Principality of Monaco.
