The 2015 season saw Novak Djokovic take his Monte Carlo crown back after beating Tomas Berdych in a thrilling game. The next three years we saw the King of Clay Rafael Nadal start another winning streak and win his 12th title in 2018.
The 2019 season saw us get a new winner in Fabio Fognini who surprised everyone after beating Nadal in the semi-finals and also went on to lift his maiden Monte Carlo title. The 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in unfortunate circumstances. However, in 2021 Monte Carlo was back in action and this time we saw another emerging talent in Tsitsipas who won the back-to-back seasons beating Andre Rublev in 2021 and Davidovich Fokina in 2022. It was then Andrey Rublev who won his first title and came back after losing in 2021 beating Holger Rune in the final. Overall it has been 10 impressive years of tennis that we witnessed.
