Tennis tournament
The Monte-Carlo Masters is an annual tennis tournament for male professional players held in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin , France,[ 1] commune that borders on Monaco founded in 1896 as the Monte-Carlo International .[ 2] [ 3]
In 1897 the event officially became known as the Monte-Carlo Championships also known as the Monte Carlo International Championships which was then a combined men's and women's tournament until 1982 when the women's championships ceased. Today the event is part of the ATP Tour Masters 1000 on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour. The tournament is played on clay courts and is held every year in the April–May period.
History
In April 1896 the first Monte Carlo International lawn tennis tournament was established.[ 4] [ 5] Wimbledon librarian in his book states the women's event was won by either a Miss K. Booth of Great Britain or a Mlle Guillon of France despite extensive research could not conclusively find the results.[ 6]
The tournament was originally played on red shale clay courts of the Lawn Tennis de Monte-Carlo in cellars underneath the Grand Hôtel de Paris until 1905.[ 7] La Condamine where it was played between 1907 and 1914 and again in 1920. It was played briefly on the roof of garage in Beausoleil an additional three tennis courts were constructed with spectator stands and new club house on 28 January 1921 the new venue was named as the "La Festa Country Club"[ 8]
It became an "Open " event in 1969. In 1971 through 1972 and from 1978 through 1989 it was a major tournament of the Grand Prix Tour . In 1973 the tournament was part of the Rothmans Spring Mediterranean Circuit.[ 9] World Championship Tennis (WCT) circuit. In 1990 it became an ATP Championship Series Single Week tennis event.
Beginning in 2009, Monte Carlo became the only Masters 1000 tournament not to have a mandatory player commitment.
Rafael Nadal won the title eight consecutive times between 2005 and 2012, making him the only player to win eight consecutive titles at the same tournament. In 2017, contesting his 11th final against Albert Ramos Viñolas , he won the title for an Open Era record 10th time. The following year, Nadal improved this record to 11 wins in a final against Kei Nishikori .
