Djokovic, who attempted to regain hegemony in this tournament for the first time in nine years since 2015, was unable to shake off his weakness in the Monte Carlo tournament.

However, until now, Ruud has never won a major tournament final, including losing all 3 singles finals of major tournaments, 1 loss in the final of the ATP Finals, and 1 loss in the final of the Masters 1000 Series.
Ruud's final opponent in this tournament is Stefanos Tsitsipas (12th place, Greece).
Tsitsipas defeated this year's Australian Open champion Sinner 2-1 (6-4 3-6 6-4) in the semifinals.
Tsitsipas also has a record of two losses in major tournament finals, but won the ATP Finals in 2019 and has reached the top of the Masters 1000 Series tournament in 2021 and 2022.
