Why the circuit stops here

Clay-court tennis on a cliff over the Mediterranean: the first act of Monaco’s spring, where the principality’s resident tax exiles watch their neighbours play.

The money signal

Half the top-ten seeds can walk to the tournament from their apartments; it is effectively their home club.

Who's there

Monaco’s resident athletes and billionaires, Riviera society warming up for May.

How they arrive

  • Short-hop helicopter transfers beat the road traffic. This stop is built around its helipads.
  • Private aviation is the default: expect FBO slots and hotel helipads to be the real constraint, not tickets.
