Clay courts can be unpredictable. From 1995 to 2004, before Rafael Nadal claimed Roland Garros as his own personal domain, the French Open gave five men — Thomas Muster, Carlos Moya, Albert Costa, Juan Carlos Ferrero and Gaston Gaudio — their first and only Slam titles. It also gave Gustavo Kuerten all three of his.
Stefanos Tsitsipas said he is aiming to finish the season in the world's top two after successfully defending his Monte Carlo Masters title with a hard-fought victory over Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in Sunday's final. Third seed Tsitsipas hammered 21 winners and made only 11 unforced errors in the Monaco sunshine to win 6-3, 7-6 (7/3) in an hour and 36 minutes. It was the 23-year-old Greek's eighth ATP title and first in 11 months as he made the perfect start to the clay-court season.

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.
El estadounidense Jim Courier fue el primer tenista de la historia en conseguir el mítico Sunshine Double, o lo que es lo mismo, ganar Indian Wells y Miami en la misma temporada. Lo logró en 1991 tras derrotar a Guy Forget en Indian Wells y firmar una semana memorable en Miami, donde primero se deshizo del entonces número 1 Stefan Edberg para alzar luego el título frente a David Wheaton. Courier fue pionero en este doblete al que después se unieron Chang, (1992), Sampras (1994), Ríos (1998), Agassi (2001), Federer (2005, 2006 y 2017) y Djokovic (2011, 2014, 2015 y 2016).
