For the first time in 2026, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will meet with a title on the line.
The Monte-Carlo Masters title isn’t the only thing on the line this morning, though; the 17th career meeting between the two will also determine the World No. 1 ranking. Alcaraz currently holds the No. 1 ranking, with Sinner close behind at No. 2.
Sinner has been on a run this year, most recently winning both titles in the “Sunshine Double” — the Indian Wells Open and Miami Open. Today marks his first time playing in the finals at Monte-Carlo.
