Aleksandar Vukic defeated Lucas Catarina 6-2, 6-4 in the first qualifying round of the Monte Carlo Masters on clay on 6 April 2024. The Australian moved through the match with relative ease, claiming both sets by identical margins to secure his passage through qualifying. Catarina, competing in the preliminary stages of the M1000 event, was unable to mount sustained resistance against Vukic's play. The victory keeps Vukic's hopes alive of reaching the main draw at the prestigious Monaco venue, where progression through qualifying would represent a significant achievement for a player outside the world's top tier.
