The 2013 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters was a men's tennis tournament for male professional players, played from 13 April through 22 April 2013, on outdoor clay courts. It was the 107th edition of the annual Monte Carlo Masters tournament, which was sponsored by Rolex for the fifth time. It took place at the Monte Carlo Country Club in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, near Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Contents

Rafael Nadal was the eight-time defending champion, but suffered his first defeat at the tournament since his debut in 2003 (he missed the tournament in 2004 due to injury), by losing in the final to Novak Djokovic. The defeat ended a 46-match winning streak dating back to the first of his eight consecutive titles at the tournament, in 2005.

Points distribution

Because the Monte Carlo Masters is the non-mandatory Masters 1000 event, special rules regarding points distribution are in place. The Monte Carlo Masters counts as one of a player's 500 level tournaments, while distributing Masters 1000 points.
