Emotional Andrey Rublev takes next step in Monte Carlo as Holger Rune shines under Patrick Mouratoglou's gaze
Holger Rune’s bid to revel in the NextGen spotlight briefly vacated by fellow teen Carlos Alcaraz came up just short as Andrey Rublev finally made his mark at Masters 1000 level by winning the 2023 Monte Carlo title. Rune, 19, was tipped to prevail in Sunday’s showpiece in the principality but could not capture his second Masters 1000 title to add to the one he won in Paris in November. Ad For Rublev it brought to an end to a long journey to triumph at a tournament at this level and he was almost in tears after sealing an emotional victory.
