Overview
- Sinner’s quarterfinal is scheduled for Friday, April 10 as the second match on Court Rainier III around 13:00 local time, with live coverage in Italy on Sky Sport and streaming on NOW, SkyGo and Tennis TV.
- Following Thursday’s 6-1, 6-7(3), 6-3 win over Tomas Machac, Sinner reached the last eight after his 37-set streak at Masters 1000 events ended in the second set.
- Felix Auger-Aliassime reached the quarterfinals when Casper Ruud retired in their round of 16 match, which left the Canadian with less time on court this week.
- Winning Monte-Carlo would guarantee Sinner’s return to No. 1, while a runner-up finish would require Alcaraz to stop before the final based on current points scenarios.
- Sinner said he is not chasing the ranking and chose to play Monte-Carlo because it feels like home, noting he can sleep in his own bed and recover between matches.
