Monte Carlo Masters

April 14 - 22, 2012

It's the all "men's club" of famous tennis champs who gather each year in April at the clay courts of the swank Monte Carlo Country Club.

This year, tickets go on sale in October 2011 and are available at Ticketmasters and other online ticket vendors.

One of the oldest and most traditional tennis championships, the Monte Carlo tournament was first held in 1897. It later became known as the Monte Carlo Open, before becoming part of the Masters Series in the early 1990's. Today, it is a top tournament with a Monte Carlo "glam" factor that few other venues can equal.

Last year, Spanish champ and legendary 'King of Clay' Rafael Nadal took his seventh straight title as winner of the Monte Carlo Masters, the only tennis pro ever to score that many consecutive wins in a single major tournament.

In 2012, all eyes will again be on Nadal as the tennis master goes for 'lucky' 8' at the Monte Carlo Masters scheduled this year from April 14-22. Stay tuned....
