The Monte-Carlo Masters (as of 2011^[update] sponsored by Rolex) is an annual tennis tournament for male professional players held in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France,^[1] a commune that borders on Monaco. The event is part of the ATP Masters Series on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour. The tournament is played on clay courts. As of 2011^[update] it was held every year in the April-May period.

The Monte Carlo tennis championship was first held in 1897. It became an "Open" event in 1969. Between 1970 and 1989 it was a major tournament of the Grand Prix Tour as part of the Grand Prix Championship Series top tier events, before becoming an ATP Championship Series Single Week tennis event.

Beginning in 2009, Monte Carlo became the only ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament to not have a mandatory player commitment. Most of the top players still elect to play the event.

Rafael Nadal has won the title 7 consecutive times between 2005 and 2011, making him the only player in the open era to win 7 consecutive titles at the same tournament.
