7th seed Jannik Sinner has looked like a whole different player in the last couple of tournaments and will be determined to perform well in Monte Carlo Masters as well. In his last tournament, which was the Miami Open, he made it to the finals losing to eventual champion, Medvedev. In the tournament before that, at the Indian Wells Masters, he made it to the semi-finals losing to Alcaraz. At the Australian Open, he made it to the fourth round losing to Tsitsipas in what was a five-set thriller. At the Paris Masters, he couldn’t make it past the first stage mark, and at the Vienna Open, he lost to Medvedev in the quarter-finals after picking up crucial wins against Garin and Francisco Cerundolo. At the Rotterdam Open, he made it to the finals losing to Medvedev after beating the likes of Bonzi, Tsitsipas, Stanislas Wawrinka, and Griekspoor. In the ongoing Monte Carlo Masters, he received a walkover against Schwartzman in the first round when he was leading the score by 0-6, 1-3, and in the second round, he beat Hurkacz by 6-3, 6-7, 1-6. In the quarter-finals, he beat Musetti by 2-6, 2-6.
Seeded sixth Holger Rune has not been quite consistent recently and looks to start the year on a high. He needs to keep his composure and would be adamant to lift the trophy at the Monte Carlo Masters. He lost to Cressy at the Open Sud De France in the semis finals after beating Barrere and Huesler in the first two matches. He made it to the finals of the Swiss Indoors but lost to Auger-Aliassime but he corrected that mistake by lifting the Paris Masters trophy by beating Djokovic in the final. At the Australian Open, he made it to the fourth round losing to Rublev after beating players like Humbert, Cressy, and Krajinovic on the way. He made it to the semi-finals of the Mexican Open where he lost to de Minaur. In the ongoing Monte Carlo Masters, he beat Thiem in the first round by 2-6, 4-6, and in the second round, he received a walkover against Berrettini. In the quarter-finals, he shocked everyone by beating the tournament favorite Medvedev in straight sets by 3-6, 4-6.
