Defending Champions Go Separate Ways

Romain Arneodo and Guinard, who won the 2025 title in a fairytale run that made Arneodo the first Monégasque champion in tournament history, opted not to defend their crown together this year. Arneodo partnered Pierre-Hugues Herbert but fell in the second round, while Guinard teamed with Andreozzi and reached the semifinals before bowing out.wikipedia

Bopanna Absent from Monte Carlo Draw

Indian doubles veteran Rohan Bopanna, who won the Monte Carlo doubles title in 2017 and reached the quarterfinals with Ben Shelton in 2025, was not part of the 2026 doubles draw. Bopanna, now 46, ended his celebrated partnership with Matthew Ebden after the 2024 ATP Finals and has since rotated through various partners on tour. In 2025, Bopanna set a record as the oldest man to win a Masters 1000 match at this very tournament.ndtv
