MONTE CARLO : Stefanos Tsitsipas captured back-to-back crowns at the Monte Carlo Masters with a workmanlike 6-3 7-6(3) win over first-time ATP Tour finalist Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Sunday, claiming his first title of the 2022 season.
La lógica, el ranking y la experiencia se impusieron en la final del Masters 1.000 de Montecarlo. Alejandro Davidovich no pudo poner la guinda a su fantástica semana en el Principado y perdió frente a Stefanos Tsitsipas por 6-3 y 7-6 (3) en 1h:36. Así, el griego revalidó el título de campeón, el noveno de su carrera. Y el español se reivindicó como un aspirante a pelear por grandes torneos. De momento, asciende desde el puesto 46º del ranking ATP al 27º, el mejor de su carrera.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has followed in Roger Federer's footsteps as just the second man in history to back up his Masters 1000-level defeat of Novak Djokovic by reaching the final. The 22-year-old stunned the top seed in his opening match earlier this week and has now backed it up by making it to the championship match, where he faces defending champ Stefanos Tsitsipas for the title.
Defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas reached the final of the Monte Carlo Masters, where he will face Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Stefanos Tsitsipas says he is expecting a «big battle» in the Monte Carlo Masters final after easing past Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals. Tsitsipas — despite a scare against Diego Schwartzman in the quarter-finals late on Friday — has looked in fine touch all week at the Monte Carlo Country Club and he continued that form in a comfortable 6-4, 6-2 victory over Zverev.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina felt a bathroom break was key to him reaching the Monte Carlo Masters final following a battling win over Grigor Dimitrov. The unseeded Spaniard eventually saw off the Bulgarian 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 in two hours and 43 minutes to continue his remarkable week in the principality, and will now go on to face the winner of Saturday's other semi-final which sees Stefanos Tsitsipas take on Alexander Zverev.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina feels he will have «all the power» with him after reaching the Monte Carlo Masters final following a battling win over Grigor Dimitrov. The unseeded Spaniard eventually saw off the Bulgarian 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 in two hours and 43 minutes to continue his remarkable week in the principality, and will now go on to face the winner of Saturday's other semi-final which sees Stefanos Tsitsipas take on Alexander Zverev.
Con un ace y de rodillas sobre la tierra, Alejandro Davidovich puso fin al sufrimiento y que le sirve para alcanzar la primera final de su carrera. Y no una cualquiera, sino la del Masters 1.000 de Montecarlo, el de la tierra sagrada de monstruos como Rafa Nadal, Bjorn Borg, Guilermo Vilas, Ilie Nastase o Thomas Muster. Este domingo (14:30, #Vamos), el malagueño con aspecto de guiri, de padres rusos pero nacido hace 22 años en el Rincón de la Victoria (Málaga) y 'boquerón' como el que más, tendrá la oportunidad de luchar por el título contra Alexander Zverev o Stefanos Tsitsipas. Palabras mayores.
