As the prestigious Monte-Carlo Masters 2025 approaches, several top names in men’s tennis will be noticeably absent from the draw. Here’s a look at four key players who are set to miss the tournament this year:
1. Jannik Sinner
Sinner, one of the brightest young stars on the ATP Tour, will not compete in Monte Carlo. The Italian is currently serving a three-month suspension and is focusing on spending quality time with family and friends during his break from the sport.
2. Taylor Fritz
American No. 1 Taylor Fritz will also sit out this year’s edition of the Monte-Carlo Masters. The reason behind his withdrawal has not been officially confirmed, but his absence will be a significant blow for fans looking forward to his powerful baseline game on clay.
3. Hubert Hurkacz
Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz is another notable absentee. Known for his versatility and athleticism, Hurkacz has had a solid start to 2025, but he will skip the tournament for undisclosed reasons.
4. Jakub Mensik
Rising Czech talent Jakub Mensik will also miss out on Monte Carlo. While he’s been turning heads with his recent performances, fans will have to wait a little longer to see him compete at this level on clay.
Bonus: Nick Kyrgios (Unconfirmed)
While not officially ruled out, Nick Kyrgios’ participation remains uncertain. The Aussie has been battling injuries and limited his appearances in recent months. His last notable match came at the Miami Open, where he played Karen Khachanov.
With these withdrawals, the Monte-Carlo Masters 2025 draw is bound to see some shake-ups, giving other contenders a chance to shine on the famed clay courts of Monaco.
