–

If people were hoping that No. 1 and No. 2 would meet in the Monte Carlo final Sunday, well, welcome to tennis.

No. 10 Casper Ruud and No. 12 Stefanos Tsitsipas were on form.

No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 2 Jannik Sinner were less than that.

And the result was a pair of surprise three-set wins, and a great opportunity for both of then to pick off a Masters 1000 to kick off the clay-court season. And a virtuoso effort from Tsitsipas to win his third Monte Carlo title.
