The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters marks the annual return to European clay of top flight men’s tennis, this year’s edition running from 10th to 18th April 2021

Having fallen foul to the COVID-19 pandemic last year, the 2021 tournament will be played behind closed doors. Whilst not ideal from the fans’ perspective, at least the event is going ahead with a truly world class line-up.

Players confirmed include nine of the Top Ten players in the ATP world rankings, the only one missing being a certain Mr. Federer. Other names to look out for include Hubert Hurkacz, who just won his first ATP 1000 Masters title with a great victory this past weekend in Miami.

After the cancellation of the Tournament in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are delighted that the 2021 edition can once again play host to the best players on the ATP circuit. I would like to thank the players in particular, who will once again be back on the clay courts of the Monte-Carlo Country Club for their loyalty and support,” commented the Tournament Director, Zeljko Franulovic.

He also commented on the passing in 2020 of the Baroness Elizabeth-Ann de Massy who played a huge role in Monegasque tennis, being President of the Monte-Carlo Country Club and the Monaco Tennis Federation, as well as being the President of the Organising Committee of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.
