Top 5 tennis greats who never won the Monte Carlo Masters

#1. Roger Federer

Federer was always on the losing end of his four Monte Carlo Masters finals

Even though clay was never Federer’s preferred surface, his versatility enabled him to perform well on clay courts. However, Federer never won the Monte Carlo Masters, having reached the final of the tournament four times.His first three finals came in consecutive years from 2006-2008 and in all three occasions he faced Rafael Nadal. In 2006, he lost to Nadal in four sets and was beaten by the Spaniard in straight sets in the following two years. He did not reach the final until 2014 where he beat Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals to face compatriot and friend Stan Wawrinka in the final.Federer took the first set but Wawrinka rebounded well to take the next three sets to win the only Masters 1000 title of his career so far.
