Bravo Jannik.\u201d<\/p>\n Sinner is only the second Italian to lift the Monte Carlo title in the Open Era after Fabio Fognini.<\/p>\n Fognini, a former world No 9 who retired after Wimbledon last year, congratulated his compatriot in a humorous message.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was time\u2026. At least you won a tournament like mine. BRAVO,\u201d wrote Fognini.<\/p>\n After the final at the Monte Carlo Country Club, Sinner said:\u00a0\u201cIt was a good match from him and also from my side.<\/p>\n \u201cSmall things where he is gonna improve, for sure, for the next match against me, and I have to be ready for that. But now I also want to enjoy this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a very strange match, because it was very windy. The conditions were not warm, which, you know, the ball is less bouncy that [makes it] a little bit easier to play tennis in general.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I was serving well in the important moments in the first set. In the tiebreak, I was very, very accurate. And in the second set was up and down a little bit from both [of us].<\/p>\n \u201cWe both were slightly tired, because, you know, at the end of the tournament it\u2019s normal that you feel this way. A lot of tension for both of us.<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Carlos Alcaraz makes a stark confession after he is beaten by Jannik Sinner to lose world No 1 ranking<\/a> The post Jannik Sinner sent messages by Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic after Monte Carlo Masters triumph<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic have sent congratulatory messages to Jannik Sinner after the Italian\u2019s triumph at the 2026 Monte Carlo Masters.
