Prediction published on 4/7/25, 5:01 AM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 4/7/25 at 5:04 AM in ATP Monte Carlo Masters Picks

After qualifying on Sunday afternoon, Daniel Altmaier faces Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, seeded number 16 in the first round of the Monte-Carlo Masters 1000.

Having returned from the United States (Indian Wells and Miami) with no wins to his name, Daniel Altmaier was eager to get back to clay, his preferred surface. The German has achieved his best results on this surface, and his qualifying performances once again demonstrated this. With victories over Spain's Jaume Munar and France's Pierre-Hugues Herbert, the 83rd-ranked player in the world has secured his place in the final draw at Monte-Carlo. A quarter-finalist in Rotterdam and Marseille, Daniel Altmaier is capable of some fine runs, and this week on the Rock, the German tennis player will have a shot at the title.

Having made a good start to the season, Félix Auger-Aliassime suffered a setback in the United States. Winner of two tournaments in 2025 (Adelaide and Montpellier), the Canadian didn't shine at the Masters 1000 on Uncle Sam's soil, with second-round exits in the BNP Paribas Open and the third round in Miami. Ranked 19th on the ATP rankings, Félix Auger-Aliassime now tackles clay with new ambitions after a successful first few weeks. Eighth runner-up at the French Open and then in the last four at the Olympic Games, the North American has made huge strides on clay and intends to demonstrate this starting this Monday in Monte-Carlo.
