The Monte Carlo Masters 1000 was won by Jannik Sinner, who returned to the summit of the ATP rankings by defeating Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(5), 6-3 in the final after two hours and fifteen minutes of play. For the South Tyrolean, this is his 27th career title, his eighth at Masters 1000 level, and his first major success on clay. It was an intense final, affected by strong wind, in which Sinner managed to respond to difficult moments by coming back in both sets. After winning the first set in a tie-break, the Italian overcame a break down in the second set to complete his comeback. "Returning to number one is important, but the ranking is secondary: I want to win trophies", he said following the match.
