Carlos Alcaraz won the Monte Carlo Masters in 2025                            <\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"ciam-article-t365\">\n<p>The 2026 season ATP Masters 1000 clay-court swing kicks off with the Monte Carlo Masters and the event will again offer a lot of ranking points and money to those who reach the latter stages.<\/p>\n<p>The Monte Carlo tournament is the first of three ATP 1000 clay-court events on the calendar, but unlike the Madrid Open and the Italian Open where 96 players enter the main draw, the Monaco tournament features only 56 singles players.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, there are only 16 seeds \u2013 compared to 32 in Madrid and Rome \u2013 with the top-eight players in the main draw earning byes into the second round.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s field is headlined by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/facts-stats\/spanish-men-to-win-the-monte-carlo-masters-title-open-era\">defending champion Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> with Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Lorenzo Musetti, Alex de Minaur, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Bublik the eight players who will go straight into the round of 32 so they are assured of earning second-round points.<\/p>\n<h2>Points On Offer At Monte Carlo Masters<\/h2>\n<p>The ATP uses a rolling 52-week, merit-based system for the rankings and, ultimately, it means players have to defend points they earned from the corresponding period 12 months ago as they expire after a year.<\/p>\n<p>Example: If player A reached the quarter-final of an event in the first week of April 2025 and earned 200 points, those points will drop at the start of the 2026 edition\/first week of April.<\/p>\n<h2>ATP News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The player will then pick up points for every win and, should they reach the quarter-final again, they will earn 200 points again while they will pick up more points if they reach the semi-final or final.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monte Carlo Points<\/strong><br \/>\nChampion: 1,000 points<br \/>\nRunner-up: 650 points<br \/>\nSemi-finalists: 400 points<br \/>\nQuarter-finalists: 200 points<br \/>\nRound of 16:100 points<br \/>\nRound of 32: 50 points<br \/>\nRound of 64: 10 points<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz, of course, is the defending champion so his 1,000 points from last year will expire at the start of the tournament and he can only earn a maximum of 1,000 points again by being the last man standing in Monte Carlo.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, world No 2 Sinner didn\u2019t play last year so he doesn\u2019t have any points to defend.<\/p>\n<p>If Sinner outperforms Alcaraz then he will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/atp-rankings-could-jannik-sinner-replace-carlos-alcaraz-at-no-1-after-monte-carlo-masters\">replace the Spaniard at the No 1<\/a> in the ATP Rankings after the tournament.<\/p>\n<h2>Prize Money On Offer In Monte Carlo<\/h2>\n<p>The total financial commitment for the tournament is \u20ac6,309,095 ($7,309,556), a slight increase from the \u20ac6,128,940 from 12 months ago.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Alcaraz received a cheque of \u20ac946,610 ($1,021,255) for winning the title while runner-up Musetti earned \u20ac516,925 ($557,687).<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s champion will go home with \u20ac974,370 ($1,128,880).<\/p>\n<p>Champion: \u20ac974,370 ($1,128,880)<br \/>\nRunner-up: \u20ac532,120 ($616,500)<br
