Felix Auger-Aliassime to win the ATP Monte Carlo Masters

Tournament preview

Rafael Nadal returns to action at the ATP Monte Carlo Masters where the King of Clay will bid for a remarkable 12th title in an event which also features world number one Novak Djokovic.

Nadal and Djokovic both skipped the Miami Open and should be fresh for this assignment. That's reflected in the odds, with Nadal just 4-5 to regain his title and Djokovic 5-2 to win it for the third time.

Stan Wawrinka and defending champion Fabio Fognini are the only other men to have won this event since but there might at least be some each-way value to be found in opposing Djokovic in the top half of the draw.

The Serb tends to be at his best when he has matches behind him and could prove vulnerable from a quarter which includes Jannik Sinner, Hubert Hurkacz, David Goffin and Alexander Zverev, who have all won titles this season.

At massive odds, a chance can be taken on the immensely talented Felix Auger-Aliassime, who reached a Melbourne final earlier this year and is not alien to clay, having reached finals in Rio and Lyon two years ago.

The Canadian has lost seven finals on the ATP World Tour, frustrating his backers in the process. But he has enough ability to trouble the best when he’s in the mood and last week announced he is linking up with Toni Nadal, the Pearl of Manacor’s uncle and former coach, for the slow-court campaign.
