Italian Fabio Fognini has followed up his shock victory over Rafael Nadal with a 6‑3 6‑4 win over Serbian Dusan Lajovic to claim his first Masters title in Monte Carlo.
The 31‑year‑old won despite suffering from a muscle problem to become the lowest seeded player, at 13, to claim the title since Gustavo Kuerten in 1999.
Five weeks before the French Open kicks off, Fognini produced some brilliant tennis on Monte Carlo's red clay to snatch his ninth ATP singles title.
