Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz and Felix Auger-Aliassime withdrew from the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters due to injury. This is still a stacked field, though, as Novak Djokovic is in the same side of the draw as Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner, who he will need to get through to earn the title. Medvedev in particular has been incredibly hot, going 29-3 overall this year with four championships to his name. Back-to-back event winners Stefanos Tsitsipas highlights the bottom half of the draw and others like Casper Ruud, Andrey Rublev, Andy Murray and 2022 Monte-Carlo finalist Alejandro Davidovich Fokina will be threats.
Overall, this clay tournament has one of the most stunning locations on the ATP Tour and is a ton of fun to bet.
