The 2006 edition of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 was the first ever ATP event that a star-struck Stefanos Tsitsipas attended.
That six-year-old was completely captivated but “not in a million years would I have thought I am in the position I am today,” claimed the Greek last week.
Tsitsipas had put on a glorious clay-court exhibition to compliment the surroundings by retaining his Monte Carlo title, edging the explosive Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-3, 7-6(3) for his second Masters crown.
