Monte Carlo Masters gallery: From Novak Djokovic exit to Stefanos Tsitsipas triumph

The Monte Carlo Masters has proven to be a fascinating stop on the ATP Tour.

Early in the tournament the focus was on the return of Novak Djokovic but the Serb couldn’t get past eventual finalist Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the second round.

Davidovich Fokina would prove the great entertainer of the Monte Carlo Masters from his odd socks to underhand serves.

There were more early upsets as Carlos Alcaraz went down to American Sebastian Korda in the Round of 32.

Stan Wawrinka made his return and prompted a bizarre victory speech from Alexander Bublik who said he had hoped the Swiss would beat him.

Alexander Zverev returned to the court as well but fans in Monte Carlo gave him a hostile reception.

Grigor Dimitrov played as well as he has for some time in reaching the last four only to be frustrated by Davidovich Fokina.

Davidovich Fokina racked up big scalps on his road to the final beating Djokovic and Dimitrov as well as the likes of David Goffin and Indian Wells titlist Taylor Fritz.

Stefanos Tsitsipas established himself as the early favourite to retain his Monte Carlo crown.

Tsitsipas produced some masterful tennis in the early rounds before grinding through a tough quarterfinal against Diego Schwartzman

British Doubles World No 1 Joe Salisbury added a Masters series title to his collection taking the Monte Carlo title with regular partner Rajeev Ram.

Tsitsipas prevailed in an entertaining if brief final against Davidovich Fokina.
