Andrey Rublev finally got his ATP 1000 trophy after beating
Holger Rune in the Monte-Carlo final and he joked about it after the match.
Holger Rune won his maiden ATP 1000 trophy last year in Paris after beating Djokovic in the final with his second final nearly resulting in another one. He held a lead early in the 3rd set but Rublev came back to win the match and lift his maiden one finally. That became the substance of a joke by Rublev after the match as he said:
“First I’d like to congratulate Holger Rune for the amazing week. I know it’s tough to lose in a final. But man, you’re too freaking young, man. You already have already a 1000 title. At least give me 1 time to win it.”
