Rafael Nadal defeated the defending champion Guillermo Coria in the final, 6–3, 6–1, 0–6, 7–5 to win the singles tennis title at the 2005 Monte Carlo Masters. It was his first Masters title, and the first of eleven titles at the Monte-Carlo Masters. His first round victory against Gaël Monfils marked the beginning of a record 46 consecutive victories at the tournament; he would not lose again until the 2013 final. Nadal became the youngest Masters champion since Michael Chang at the 1990 Canadian Open.
En route to the title, Nadal defeated the previous edition of the French Open's singles champion (Gastón Gaudio), singles runner-up (Guillermo Coria), both doubles champions (Olivier Rochus and Xavier Malisse), the mixed doubles champion (Richard Gasquet), and the boy's champion (Gaël Monfils).
