Which British tennis players will be competing at the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters 2025?
Seven Brits are set for action at this year’s Rolex Monte Carlo Masters across the singles and doubles draws.
Spearheading the singles line up is British No.1 Jack Draper who is currently the only Brit set for main draw action in Monte Carlo. Draper will enter the tournament as the sixth seed and fuelled with confidence following his run to a maiden ATP 1000 title in Indian Wells just a few weeks ago. The 22-year-old enjoyed a fairytale run that saw him beat the likes of Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune on his way to being crowned champion in the Californian desert.
The world No.7 will be gunning to make a strong start to his clay court swing, after suffering a first round defeat to Hubert Hurkacz in Monte Carlo last year.
Meanwhile, British No.3 Cam Norrie will bid to join Draper in main draw as he prepares to compete in qualifying.
The doubles draw will see a stacked British contingent in what is shaping up to be a world class entry list.
Third seeds Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara will continue their quest for a first Masters 1000 title as they take to the clay in Monte Carlo. The two-time Grand Slam winning pair have been a dominant force on the doubles tour since joining forces a year ago – collecting five titles including the Wimbledon and Australian Open crowns – but are yet to get their hands on an ATP 1000 title. With the pair growing stronger by the week, will Monte Carlo see them finally have their breakthrough?
Joining them is another pair who have been making their mark on the ATP doubles tour – Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool. The all-British duo has already lifted two trophies this year on the hard courts in Doha and Brisbane and came within touching distance of the Miami Open crown, where they finished runners-up.
Fellow British pair Neal Skupski and Joe Salisbury also join the line up, alongside Jamie Murray who completes the line-up.
Past British success at the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters
The Rolex Monte Carlo Masters is yet to crown a British singles champion in the Open Era, with Mike Davies being the only Brit to reach the final in 1960. However, a number of Brits have claimed success in the doubles draw, particularly in recent years.
Salisbury and Ram’s triumph two years ago marked the first British player to lift the trophy since Tim Henman was crowned a two-time Monte Carlo Masters doubles champion in 2004. Henman The former world No.4 paired France’s Olivier Delaitre to take home his first title in 1999 before going on to lift his second alongside Nenad Zimonjic five years later.
2021 saw Skupski and Evans join forces to reach the final where they eventually lost out in the deciding tie-break to Croatian duo Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic 6-3, 4-6, 10-7, while Murray and Bruno Soares were pipped to the silverware in 2016 by Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut.
