Record winner Rafael Nadal on Center Court, 2007

The Monte Carlo Masters (officially since 2009 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters ) is the third tennis tournament of the 1990 Masters Series and the first of three Masters tournaments on clay in the men's tournament calendar .

The traditional tournament was first held in 1897, making it one of the oldest and most traditional tennis tournaments in the world. With the start of the Open Era in 1969, it was also opened to professionals. It was part of the Masters Series from the start and is therefore one of the most prestigious clay court tournaments. In 2007 it was planned to downgrade the tournament - similar to the traditional Masters at Hamburg's Rothenbaum - as part of a major restructuring of the ATP Tour . The tournament management then sued the ATP and - in contrast to Hamburg - was successful; the tournament remained part of the series. In contrast to the other Masters tournaments, however, in Monte Carlo there is no obligation for the top 30 players to take part in the tournament.

Although organized by a Monaco tournament management, the tournament will not take place in Monaco . The venue, the Monte Carlo Country Club , is located in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin on the French-Monegasque border on French soil.

Record winner of the event since the beginning of the Open Era is Rafael Nadal with eleven wins, of which he achieved the first eight (2005-2012) in a row, which is also a record in the Open Era. In doubles, the Bryan brothers Bob and Mike have won the most frequently with six titles so far. Tournament director is Željko Franulović , who won the tournament himself in 1970.
