Jannik Sinner headlines the elite singles firepower in the doubles draw at the upcoming Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, where the Italian will compete alongside a host of stars.
The 24-year-old Italian joins forces with Belgian Zizou Bergs at the third ATP Masters 1000 event of the season, with the pair facing Tomas Machac and Casper Ruud in a fun opener at the clay-court tournament. It will be the second time this year Sinner has competed in doubles, after suffering a first-round loss in Indian Wells with Reilly Opelka.
Alexander Zverev won the title alongside Marcelo Melo in Acapulco in March and will team with the Brazilian in the Principality. Zverev and Melo open against Luke Johnson and Jan Zielinski, with the winning team playing top seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in the second round. Alex de Minaur and Cameron Norrie face Italian wild cards Matteo Berrettini and Andrea Vavassori, with third seeds Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten awaiting in the second round.
Czechs Jiri Lehecka and Jakub Mensik meet Andrey Rublev and Karen Khachanov in a singles-heavy opener. Lehecka arrives in Monte-Carlo high in confidence after advancing to the singles final in Miami. Rublev and Khachanov won the title in Madrid together in 2023.
Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool are seeded second and will take on Sadio Doumbia and Fabien Reboul or Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler in their opening match. Valentin Vacherot leads Monegasque hopes, playing with cousin Arthur Rinderknech. Vacherot and Rinderknech reached the final in Indian Wells in March and they face fifth seeds Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic in the first round.Â
