How much prize money did Novak Djokovic, Frances Tiafoe, Alexander Zverev & others earn after Monte-Carlo Masters 2R exit?

Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev and Frances Tiafoe all suffered second-round exits at the Monte-Carlo Masters, and each of them will receive €44,220 for their respective runs. The tournament has entered its third round, with seven seeded players already out.

Djokovic entered Monte-Carlo as the third seed after losing the Miami Open final to Jakub Mensik. The Serb received a bye to the second round, and here, he was up against Alejandro Tabilo, who beat him 6-3, 6-4. This is Djokovic's second loss to the Chilean, who previously beat him in the Madrid Masters last year.

Alexander Zverev was the top seed in Monte-Carlo, and he also received a bye to the second round. The German faced a tough opponent in Matteo Berrettini and won the opening set 6-2. However, the Italian bounced back to register a 2-6, 6-3, 7-5 win and get his third victory over Zverev from seven matches between the two.

14th seed Frances Tiafoe faced Miomir Kecmanovic in the opening round of the Monte-Carlo Masters and beat the Serb 6-2, 5-7, 7-6(5) to reach the second round. Here, he was up against Alexei Popyrin and took the first set 63. However, the Aussie made a fine comeback to win the next two sets by the same scoreline and book his place in the Round of 16 of the Masters 1000 event.

Djokovic, Zverev, and Tiafoe will each earn €44,220, which is the prize money given to the players who were eliminated in the second round of the tournament.
