Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Cameron Norrie headline the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, the first ATP Masters 1000 event on clay this season. The tournament, live on Sky Sports Tennis, features seven of the top ten players, with Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton and Jack Draper notably absent. Defending champion Alcaraz faces a resurgent Sinner, who closed the gap to just 1,190 points in the rankings after his 'Sunshine Double' in Indian Wells and Miami.

Sinner's team, led by Darren Cahill, is under pressure to keep improving, as former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli noted. Norrie, the British No 1, returns after an impressive run at Indian Wells and aims to build on his 2023 Rio Open title. The draw begins April 6, with the tournament running through April 12, culminating in the final at the picturesque Monte-Carlo Country Club. The event offers a crucial early test for the top players before the French Open. Watch live on Sky Sports or stream via NOW TV..
