ATP Monte-Carlo Masters: History Of The Competition
The ATP Monte-Carlo is held in the small town of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, which is located in France, bordering the Principality of Monaco. Despite this fact, the complex where the world’s top players compete is called the Monte-Carlo Country Club. The sports facility was built in the late 19th century, thanks to the efforts of American philanthropist George Butler.
There are a few more interesting facts about the ATP Monte-Carlo:
- Winners of the tournament receive a prize from the hands of members of the princely family. Prince Rainier III was particularly fond of tennis. The current director of the Monte-Carlo Country Club is his niece Elisabeth-Anne Massy, a position previously held by her mother Antoinette. The current Prince Albert II is also no stranger to tennis. He is a frequent guest at the ATP Monte-Carlo Masters.
- Both the venue and the title sponsor remain stable for this tournament. That sponsor is the Rolex Masters Monte-Carlo, a renowned Swiss watch brand.
- The ATP Monte-Carlo will always be in the biography of Rafael Nadal, who set a unique record here. The king of the soil won eight consecutive seasons on the local courts, from 2005 to 2012, before losing to Novak Djokovic on his way to a ninth title.
