Changes Continue at the Monte Carlo Masters Despite Approaching Conclusion
Carlos Alcaraz triumphed over Arthur Fils to make it to his inaugural semi-final at the Monte Carlo Masters, but the journey was not without its challenges.
The Spanish player will face off against the in-form Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who has even extended an invitation to his wedding.
In the other semi-final, Alex de Minaur, who defeated Grigor Dimitrov, will take on Lorenzo Musetti.
Musetti has recently made headlines, displaying his resurgence after a tough start to the 2025 season.
All four competitors are now striving to reach the revamped final of the Monte Carlo Masters.
Monte Carlo Masters Adjusted Final Schedule
Due to anticipated rain on Sunday, April 13, originally set for the final, the Monte Carlo Masters has decided to modify the timetable.
The final was initially scheduled for 3 PM local time but has now been moved to 12 PM to accommodate the weather change.
This proactive decision has been met with praise from fans, who commend the Monte Carlo Masters for their foresight in scheduling.
Many comments have contrasted this with the Miami Open, which struggled to adjust and resulted in a delayed start to the ‘strange’ final between Novak Djokovic and Jakub Mensik until 8:45 PM.
Key Rankings at Stake for Monte Carlo Masters Final Four
As one of the premier events on the ATP calendar, the final four participants have significant ranking points to contend for.
While Jannik Sinner remains the world number one, Alcaraz could rise to second place if he secures the title.
Davidovich-Fokina, a past finalist at the Monte Carlo Masters, has already made a significant jump and is poised to re-enter the top 30 in the ATP rankings.
He could also potentially break into the top 20 if he wins his first ATP title, a feat he has yet to accomplish.
As the semi-final between De Minaur and Musetti unfolds, the stakes are not just for advancing but also for crucial ranking points.
The Rescheduled Final Details
The newly scheduled final of the Monte Carlo Masters is set to begin at 12 PM local time on Sunday, April 13.
