WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID

Nadal

“It’s really unbelievable. To win 10 times in such an important event like Monte-Carlo is something difficult to describe. Every year has been a different feeling. At the same, it’s always a unique moment every time I have this trophy with me.”

 

“I feel lucky to keep playing tennis, being healthy all these years and to compete in one of the most beautiful events of the year. Very happy to win another one. It’s a very important day in my career.”

 

Ramos-Vinolas

“Nobody likes to play a final and lose 6-1, 6-3. But I know how it is. I know that I have another tournament. I have to keep going. I will try to have my feedback with the good things I did this week. Not today, but maybe tomorrow I will be proud of myself, and I will restart again for the next tournament.”

 

Bopanna

“I’m really happy to win our first title together. I’ve come to Monte-Carlo for so many years. It’s such a historic tournament. We had a tough start to the season, but it’s great to have won. We came through some close Match tie-breaks this week and it’s a good start to the clay season. I’m looking forward to the rest of the tournaments.”

 

Cuevas

“I’m really happy to win, as I didn’t start the season well. I’m happy to win with my partner in the first tournament on European clay and I hope for a good run through to Paris.”
