With over 100 years of history, the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters is the first of the three ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments that's played out on clay. Bet on tennis matches at Bookmaker!

Rafael Nadal owns this tournament: he became the first player in the Open Era to win any tournament championship for six consecutive years when he beat fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco 6-0, 6-1 last year. That's right folks, he's won every Monte Carlo since 2005 -- and he'll likely be the favorite to win again.

Compatriot Fernando Verdasco lost to Nadal last year, and it was his very first 1000 series final. He was able to advance with an impressive victory over world No. 3 Novak Djokovic. He'll be back again to try to seal the deal this year and snatch his first Masters 1000 championship.

David Nalbandian also had a good showing, returning from hip surgery to knock out No. 7 seed Mikhail Youzhny and No. 12 Tommy Robredo en route to the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, he ran into the buzzsaw known as Djokovic. Will he be able to build upon a promising performance last year?

Philipp Kohlschreiber stunned third seed Andy Murray in the second round last year, and took his wild card status all the way to the quarter-finals, where he lost to David Ferrer. He'll try to recapture the magic of last year's tourney again in 2012. Whether he's got anything left remains to be seen.

Murray, Djokovic, Cilic, Tsonga and Ferrer are all also expected to compete in the tourney for more than 2.5 million Euros. That's some serious cash right there. You can also make some serious cash by betting on tennis matches on Bookmaker! Just remember to keep checking back for match lines as the tournament advances.

2011 Results - NADAL EXTENDS MONTE-CARLO REIGN

World No. 1 Rafael Nadal reigned supreme at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters for the seventh year in a row on Sunday as he defeated fourth seed David Ferrer 6-4, 7-5 in an all-Spanish final at the Monte-Carlo Country Club.

Nadal was presented with the trophy by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, his fiancé Charlene Wittstock, and President of the tournament committee Elizabeth-Ann de Massy.

Since making his debut with a third-round exit to Guillermo Coria in 2003, Nadal has gone on to win a staggering 37 consecutive matches in Monte-Carlo and owns a 39-1 record at the first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 clay-court tennis tournament of the season.
