MONTE CARLO (MONACO) (ITALPRESS) – Jannik Sinner wins the Masters 1000 of Montecarlo 2026. The South Tyrolean beats Carlos Alcaraz, with the score of 7-6 (5) 6-3, in two hours and 15 minutes of play, in the last act of the tournament staged on the Red Land of the Principality of Monaco and conquered the 27th title of his career. Eighth title 1000 for the blue – the fourth consecutive after Paris indoor, Indian Wells and Miami – which also takes the top of the Atp ranking.
After the semi-final elimination of the Australian Open and the surprise ko with Mensik in Doha, the 24-year-old San Candido manages to win Indian Wells, Miami and Montecarlo in the same season. The only one who managed it since 1990 was Novak Djokovic in 2015. It is the second title on the ground for Sinner, after the Atp 250 of Umag 2022, which centered the first Big Title on the land line, which in 2025 had seen it yield to Alcaraz in the final both to the International of Italy and to Roland Garros.
There is no defense of the title Alcaraz, which will return to the field next week in the Atp 500 in Barcelona. At rest, instead, in the next days the blue.
