With seven of the world’s top 10 players set to compete, the 2026 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters promises a highly competitive week on the clay. 

On Friday evening at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, the official draw for the 2026 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters set the tone for what promises to be an exceptional tournament. Assisted by Monaco’s own Valentin Vacherot, the ceremony unveiled a singles bracket featuring seven of the current top 10 players in the world.

All eyes will be on Carlos Alcaraz, who returns to Monaco looking to retain both his title and the world No. 1 ranking. Jannik Sinner, seeded second, also arrives fresh off his wins in Miami and Indian Wells, placing him firmly among the favourites for the title.

The draw also features several former champions capable of making deep runs on the clay. Among them is Stefanos Tsitsipas, whose record in Monte-Carlo speaks for itself. The Greek star is a three-time winner of the tournament and has consistently thrived in Monaco’s conditions. 

For the first time, Monegasque player Valentin Vacherot enters the Monte-Carlo Masters without relying on a wild card. Following his Shanghai title in 2025 and a strong opening stretch to the 2026 season, Vacherot will be aiming to deliver a memorable run in front of his home crowd. 

In total, 56 singles players are set to compete in this year’s tournament, with the draw confirming another elite setup for one of the most prestigious stops on the calendar.
