Tsitsipas Triumphs at Monte Carlo Masters for the Third Time

The emotion of Stefanos Tsitsipas is the picture of tennis Sunday. The Greek beats Casper Ruud in the Monte Carlo ATP final and wins the Monegasque Masters 1000 for the third time in the last four editions. Previously he had triumphed in 2021 and 2022; last year, Rublev won, but Tsitsipas took back the scene in the tournament where he has achieved more triumphs in his career. Victory in two sets for Tsitsipas (6-1, 6-4) who controlled the match against the Norwegian. The first set was totally under control, without ever suffering. In the second, however, he faced Ruud's reaction who tried to get back into the game, bringing it to the tenth game. Then the decisive shot, the powerful forehand that left no escape for the opponent and the fall with open arms into the red clay of the Principality. Visible emotion on the face of the Greek tennis player who, after beating Sinner in three sets, shows he has the strength to also overcome those like Ruud, who yesterday had beaten number one Djokovic. The clay season starts in the best possible way for the Athens native.
