Stefanos Tsitsipas became the first repeat champion at the Monte Carlo Masters since Rafael Nadal in 2018 with a 6-3, 7-6 (3) win against unseeded Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Sunday.
MONTE CARLO : Stefanos Tsitsipas knows his claycourt game is in good shape after he successfully defended his title at Monte Carlo on Sunday but he recognises that he needs to vary his approach to improve on other surfaces.
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.
Novak Djokovic has been tipped to be ready in time for his French Open title defence by Greg Rusedski and Daniela Hantuchova after starting the clay swing with a defeat to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The retired former WTA world No 7 also explained how the Serb's defeat to the eventual runner-up in Monte Carlo will help him find confidence ahead of his next tournament in Belgrade.
Rafael Nadal has sent a message of congratulations to fellow Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina after the world No 46 enjoyed a career-best week at the Monte Carlo Masters, beating world Novak Djokovic in the world No 1's opening match before reaching his first-ever final. The 22-year-old suffered a straight-sets defeat to defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas in Sunday's final, as the Greek won the title for a second consecutive year.
Former British No.1 Greg Rusedski believes Stefanos Tsitsipas’ victory at the Monte-Carlo Masters puts him amongst an elite group of four players capable of winning the 2022 French Open. The Greek world No.5 saw off unseeded Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in straight sets to secure his first title since Lyon last year. Ad/> Tsitsipas has now won a total of four titles on clay – including back-to-back triumphs in the Principality – and Rusedski feels it puts the 2021 Roland Garros runner-up in a strong position to go one better in Paris this year.
Novak Djokovic's world No 1 ranking is under threat from Daniil Medvedev. The 26-year-old is currently sidelined following a hernia surgery but has few ranking points to defend over the clay season, meaning he could still steal the top spot from the Serb. With Djokovic set to play next week's Serbia Open before the Madrid and Rome Masters, he has learned what he must do to go into his French Open title defence as the world No 1.
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.
