The draw for the 2025 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters hit at the moment, with the 56–participant subject (pre-qualifying) taking their place within the iconic occasion.
Alexander Zverev, the No.1 seed, might have his arms full after his first-round bye, as he’ll face both Italy’s Matteo Berrettini or a qualifier. Equally, Carlos Alcaraz might face Francisco Cerundolo in his first match (Cerundolo faces wild card Fabio Fognini).
Three-time and defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas will start his bid for a fourth title with a first-round conflict with both Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard or Jordan Thompson. The Greek is within the high quarter of the draw and will face Holger Rune within the spherical of 16 and Zverev within the quarterfinals.
