Sinner Beats Alcaraz to Win Monte‑Carlo and Return to No. 1

The victory returns him to No. 1 after a run of four straight Masters titles.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(5), 6-3 in Monaco on Sunday, a result that puts him back atop the ATP rankings when they update Monday.
  • The win extends Sinner’s run to four consecutive Masters 1000 titles and makes him the first player since 2015 to take the season’s first three Masters events.
  • Blustery wind affected play, as Sinner edged the first set after an Alcaraz double fault in the tiebreak and then rallied from 1-3 to win the last five games of the second.
  • The champion earned €974,370 and 1,000 ranking points, while the runner-up took €532,120.
  • Next up, Alcaraz is entered to play Barcelona this week, and Sinner has hinted he might skip Madrid to prioritize his French Open build-up.
