Absolute beast of a winner to win the match!!

[@satyamsaboo156]

His final grunt is epic, despite his three earlier losses in Monte Carlo to Nadal, he finally got this one, Although lost in French in next battle.

[@memy7030]

Game was spectacular but it shows as if before Alcaraz, nobody knew playing drop or slow shots to gain crucial points

[@fatihsari2543]

God mode in first five games !

The master of maters: Novak Djokovic.

[@markreadin7124]

Too bad Djokovic went on to lose to Rafa at FO and US Open in 2013...typical of their H2H, Rafa still leading where it matters, grand slams best of 5...

Novak Djokovic the Real Goat of tennis.

[@BrotherTree1]

After this 8-year title defence ended here, Rafa would not reclaim a title victory at this event again until 3 years later and went on to successfully defend this title for another 2 years before losing to a new eventual champion. He has yet to reclaim this title ever since when COVID hit.

[@h4rder10]

roger's MC tally before & after COVID hit -> 😆🤣😂🤗😑😐

Djokovic...,You are THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

[@evanxiongg]

An 8-peat at Monte Carlo might be one of the most impressive feats in tennis

[@lakshaydahiya3400]

I am a Rafa fan, I have had bad memories of Nole beating Rafa more often between 2011-16.But I have kind of started missing Novak. Welcome to the principality, Nole

[@moaningpheromones]

thanks lackshag

"Solo importan los GS" Yo aquí veo a dos tenistas darlo todo por el precioso título monegasco. La celebración de Nole y su equipo lo dice todo.

Greatest man to ever pick up a racket - Novak Djokovic

[@katokilombo]

What a match! best of 3 sets and with the 2 guys with more tennis and mentality of the circuit. Djoko wanted to show Nadal, also in clay I can beat you from now on.

[@luilo7848]

Guy has been ruling a court for 8 years since teenage. That's two terms of presidency.

His 1st Montecarlo was very important for Djoko. Imagine that Federer never won that trophy, and Nadal many times.
