Jannik Sinner achieved a lot by winning the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters title on Sunday—it was his eighth career Masters 1000 title, his 14th “big” title and the 27th overall title of his career.
It was also the biggest clay-court title of his career, and by a long way, his only previous triumph on the surface coming at an ATP 250-level tournament in Umag, Croatia back in 2022.
But how he did it was also notable, rallying from early breaks down at 2-0 in the first set and 3-1 in the second set to defeat world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets in the final, 7-6 (5), 6-3.
And that continued a very impressive trend: Sinner has now won his last four matches in a row against reigning world No. 1s.
