Monte Carlo Masters 2022

The Monte-Carlo Masters is one of the most popular tennis tournaments on the ATP calendar, and marks the beginning of the European clay swing. First held in 1890, the tournament has been held every year except 1915-1918 (World War I), 1940-1945 (World War II) and 2020 (COVID). The event is classified as a Masters 1000 tournament and features both the singles and doubles categories. In 2009, the Monte-Carlo Masters became the ATP 1000 event not to have mandatory player commitment, but still continues to witness participation from the biggest names across the sport. On the singles side, it features a 56-player draw while the doubles category witnesses a 28-player draw. The Masters 1000 event is held on clay courts and forms a part of three clay Masters 1000 events in the lead-up to the French Open, alongside the Madrid Masters and the Rome Masters.
