The final of the 2022 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters will feature world No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas against world No. 46 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who is playing in the first ATP Masters 1000 final of his career. Those that have been following our selections this week have cashed in on the young Spaniard in back-to-back matches in Monaco, and we’re rolling with the 22-year-old once again in this one. However, this time we’re just taking Davidovich Fokina on the game spread.
This has been a rather remarkable week for both players, as they have each had to compete their tails off to get to this point. Davidovich Fokina went through world No. 1 Novak Djokovic and world No. 13 Taylor Fritz, while also beating David Goffin and, most recently, Grigor Dimitrov. Meanwhile, Tsitsipas started this tournament with wins over two clay-court specialists in Fabio Fognini and Laslo Djere, then dug deep to erase a 4-0 deficit in the third set against another dirt star, world No. 16 Diego Schwartzman. On top of all that, he straight-setted world No. 3 Alexander Zverev.
