To be back on the podiums and winning tournaments feels amazing,\u201d Tsitsipas said.<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cI can\u2019t thank enough my family and friends\u2026 for making this possible.<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cThe trinity is even more special than the first or second time. This is purely unbelievable for me. Capturing that win today was nerve-wracking. I really wanted the trinity so I got it. I\u2019m extremely happy today.\u201d<br \/>\nHaving come into the claycourt Masters 1000 event with an 11-6 win-loss record for 2024, Tsitsipas will return to the world\u2019s top 10 on Monday after dropping out for the first time since 2019 earlier in the year.<br \/>\nBut it was yet another heartbreak for former French and U.S. Open finalist <strong>Ruud, who had stunned world number one Novak Djokovic in the semis,<\/strong> having lost the Mexican and Los Cabos Open final earlier this year.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019d like to congratulate Stef for winning Monte Carlo once again,\u201d Ruud said. \u201cYou (Tsitsipas) love this tournament. Very, very well played all week.<br \/>\n\u201cI know you fell out of top 10 a few weeks ago but you\u2019re back again where I think you belong. You\u2019re a fantastic player and especially on clay and Monte Carlo\u2026 Congratulations to you and your team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stefanos Tsitsipas won his third Monte Carlo Masters title in four years, defeating Casper Ruud in straight sets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8183,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[438,2408,3,3185,6117,2459,250,3330,6316,5527,387,6317,3331,1501,6315,618,3461,6408,4560,6305,18],"class_list":["post-8182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other","tag-australian-open","tag-congratulations","tag-cyprus","tag-defeat","tag-event","tag-family","tag-google","tag-google-news","tag-jannik-sinner","tag-loss","tag-lost","tag-monte-carlo-masters","tag-news","tag-novak-djokovic","tag-stefanos-tsitsipas","tag-top","tag-tournament","tag-tsitsipas","tag-victory","tag-who","tag-world"],"acf":{"keyphrase":"","keywords":"","sourceimg":"","country-category":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tsitsipas dismantles Ruud to win Monte Carlo title<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"tennis.
