Eleven are not enough - Rafael Nadal, world ruler of the Monte Carlo Country Club
The scenes from 2019 are still fondly remembered by tennis fans: Fabio Fognini made it to the Monte Carlo Country Club after the freestyle against Rafael Nadal. And won the final against Dusan Lajovic, getting his first title at an ATP Masters 1000 event. And by the way, he was crowned the first Italian individual champion in the Principality.
In terms of title defense, however, given the history of the tournament, you shouldn't bet too much money on Fognini. Because Monte Carlo only knows one ruler: Rafael Nadal. Who wants to fill the dozen of titles in the coming week. The closest to the Spaniard in terms of victories at the tournament that has been held since 1969 is Thomas Muster, Björn Borg, Ilie Nastase and Guillermo Vilas, each with three successes.
We picked out the most successful players in Monte Carlo.
