Determine the semifinal pairings for the Monte Carlo Masters 2026

The semifinals of this year's ATP 1000 Monte Carlo tournament will take place from the evening of April 11 Vietnam time.

The ATP 1000 tournament marks the start of the European clay season - Monte Carlo Masters 2026 has reached its final stages. After thrilling and dramatic matches, the four most outstanding players competing in the semifinals of this prestigious event have officially been revealed.

The reigning Monte Carlo champion - Carlos Alcaraz is demonstrating his dominant strength on a surface considered his specialty (Carlitos performs well on all surfaces). After a somewhat careless performance against Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the round of 16, the world number one made no mistakes in his quarterfinal match against Alexander Bublik.

The Spanish player faced difficulty only in the initial games before completely overpowering Bublik. In the second set, the Kazakh star's morale also declined, allowing Alcaraz to race to victory with a final score of 6-3; 6-0.

Carlitos' opponent in the semifinals will be Valentin Vacherot — the new star of Monaco's sports scene. Following his remarkable journey at the Shanghai Masters at the end of 2025, Vacherot has continued to improve, gradually shedding the label of "phenomenon" whenever the tennis community mentions his name.

The latest victim of the player who defeated Ly Hoang Nam in the final of the Challenger Nonthaburi 2022 is Alex De Minaur. The score of 6-4; 3-6; 6-3 might suggest a closely matched contest, but the actual on-court performance showed Vacherot's superiority, as he controlled the match well against "Demon," especially during crucial moments.

The other semifinal pairing is the match between Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev, marking the third consecutive meeting between the two at Masters 1000 tournaments in 2026—all victories have belonged to the Italian player. In the quarterfinals, Sinner easily defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime, while Zverev overcame the young talent Joao Fonseca after three sets.

The semifinals of the Monte Carlo Masters 2026 will take place from 6:30 PM on April 11 Vietnam time.
