The Greek let his opponent win just five games in the final

Stefanos Tsitsipas continued his dominance at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters on Sunday, securing his third title in four years in the Principality with a convincing 6-1, 6-4 victory over Casper Ruud.

Known for his exceptional performances in Monte-Carlo, Tsitsipas once again showcased his prowess on the court, delivering a masterful display against Ruud in front of a packed crowd at Court Rainier III. Employing aggressive shot-making and strategic movement, Tsitsipas consistently pushed Ruud deep into the court with his powerful forehand and capitalized on opportunities to advance forward, exploiting the Norwegian’s defensive positioning.

With his commanding win in just one hour and 37 minutes, Tsitsipas joined an elite group of players to have won three or more Monte-Carlo titles, including Rafael Nadal (11), Bjorn Borg (3), Thomas Muster (3), and Ilie Nastase (3).

Following his victory, Tsitsipas displayed a mix of elation and emotion, collapsing to the court before rising to embrace Ruud and share a heartfelt moment with his team. This triumph in Monte-Carlo marks a significant milestone for Tsitsipas, who will look to build on this success and gain momentum for the remainder of the season.
