Russian Andrey Rublev, 6th in the world, won the Monte-Carlo tournament on Sunday by beating in the final the Danish Holger Rune (9th) 5-7, 6-2, 7-5. At 25, Rublev won the best title of his career, after having played two finals of this category of tournaments.
Rune won last year at the Masters 1000 in Paris in the quarterfinals before winning the tournament by beating Novak Djokovic. In January, it was Rublev who won the Australian Open in the 8th final.
