Tennis: Sinner triumphs in Monte Carlo and returns to world number one

Milan, 12 Apr. (LaPresse) – Jannik Sinner wins the ATP tournament in Monte Carlo, the first Masters 1000 event of the season on clay, and returns to world number one, overtaking Carlos Alcaraz, whom he defeated in the final 7-6, 6-3. “I wouldn’t know where to start when commenting on this week; we came here looking to play as many matches as possible ahead of the major tournaments coming up. Today the standard was very high from both of us despite the wind – an incredible result. I’m back at number one, but for me it’s important to have finally won a major tournament on this surface,” commented the South Tyrolean after the match.
