A pair of former champions, Stan Wawrinka and Fabio Fognini, have been awarded wild cards for the 2023 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.

The clay-court ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Monaco, to be held from 9-16 April, announced on Tuesday that it will welcome back former World No. 3 Wawrinka for a 12th main-draw appearance at the Monte-Carlo Country Club. The Swiss defeated his countryman Roger Federer to lift the trophy in 2014 and also reached the semi-finals in 2009 at an event where he holds a 21-11 record.

The nine-time tour-level titlist Fognini enjoyed his victory moment in Monaco in 2019, when he took out Alexander Zverev and 11-time champion Rafael Nadal en route to the trophy.

Two other wild card entrants to the 56-man main draw were announced on Tuesday. Fast-rising 21-year-old Jack Draper, the No. 43 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings, will make his Monte Carlo main-draw debut, as will Valentin Vacherot. The World No. 322 Vacherot is the No. 1 Monegasque player in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings.
