High Half

Seeded Gamers: (1) Alexander Zverev, (3) Novak Djokovic, (6) Stefanos Tsitsipas, (8) Alex de Minaur, (9) Daniil Medvedev, (10) Holger Rune, (13) Lorenzo Musetti, (15) Grigor Dimitrov

The highest half of the draw options prime seed Alexander Zverev, third seed Novak Djokovic, and sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas.

They’re joined by the likes of Alex de Minaur (8), Daniil Medvedev (9), Holger Rune (10), Lorenzo Musetti (13), and Grigor Dimitrov (15) 

Zverev will likely be eager to shake off a dismal Sunshine Double with early exits in Indian Wells and Miami, however Monte Carlo is the one Masters 1000 on clay that eludes him. His finest are two earlier semi-final appearances.

The Germans’ path is something however simple, both. He opens towards Matteo Berrettini earlier than a possible third-round conflict with Musetti, Korda, or the damaging Lehecka.

If Zverev survives, a quarter-final showdown with both Rune or three-time Monte-Carlo champion Tsitsipas probably awaits.

On the underside aspect of this half, Novak Djokovic begins his clay marketing campaign towards both Stan Wawrinka or lefty Alejandro Tabilo.

The Serb had a great event in Miami, however then performed a poor remaining, so will probably be fascinating to see how he begins on the clay. Stan and Tabilo are each manageable however then Jarry or Dimitrov and a quarter-final towards de Minaur, Medvedev, or Tomas Machac might pose a sterner problem.

Djokovic has two titles within the Principality (2013, 2015), however his current kind on clay exterior Roland Garros has been much less dominant than his hard-court mastery so I’m not anticipating a deep run from him.

Then there’s Stefanos Tsitsipas, a three-time champion (2021-22, 2024), who thrives on these courts no matter kind, so he’s prone to be an element.

A second-round tie with Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard could possibly be fascinating, however I just like the Greek’s probabilities of making the semi-finals, as his serve and forehand appear to click on right here.

Backside Half

Seeded Gamers: (2) Carlos Alcaraz, (4) Casper Ruud, (5) Jack Draper, (7) Andrey Rublev, (11) Ben Shelton, (12) Arthur Fils, (14) Frances Tiafoe, (16) Felix Auger-Aliassime

Within the backside half, second seed Carlos Alcaraz, fourth seed Casper Ruud, and seventh seed Andrey Rublev headline. With Jack Draper (5), Ben Shelton (11), Arthur Fils (12), Frances Tiafoe (14), and Felix Auger-Aliassime (16).

Casper Ruud hasn’t lived as much as his kind from just a few years in the past, however clay is his most well-liked floor, and it’s most likely make-or-break for his rating this season. He begins towards both Brandon Nakashima or the seasoned Roberto Bautista-Agut, a matchup he ought to deal with earlier than a possible third-round conflict with Tiafoe.

The quarter-finals might pit Ruud towards Draper, Shelton, or the damaging Davidovich Fokina, who has had flashes of brilliance on clay in recent times.

Notably, Shelton skipped the Houston Clay Courtroom Championships, so he’s one of many few Individuals not making a last-minute sprint throughout the Atlantic. Tiafoe and Nakashima are each nonetheless enjoying in Texas, so he is available in freshest.

Within the backside quarter, Carlos Alcaraz enters as a favorite however faces a difficult path. The Spaniard opens towards both 2019 Monte-Carlo champion Fabio Fognini or Francisco Cerundolo, a rematch of their 2024 Buenos Aires conflict if it’s the latter.

A 3rd-round assembly with Auger-Aliassime or the retiring Richard Gasquet awaits, however the true check comes within the quarter-finals, the place Alcaraz might face 2023 Monte-Carlo champion Andrey Rublev.

Rublev is available in with none actual kind, however he’s now obtained Marat Safin in his nook, and we all know he can play effectively, so I’d wish to see these two face off. Arthur Fils is a possible hurdle for him, and I’m to see how the Frenchman performs on clay this 12 months, as his heavy, spin forehand regarded harmful in Indian Wells.
