Champion Rafael Nadal became the first man since Anthony Wilding in 1914 to win four consecutive titles in Monte Carlo, and was therefore the first man to do so in the Open Era.[3] Nadal also won the doubles event, forming an unseeded team with Tommy Robredo. This made him only the second man in ATP Masters Series history to win both the singles and the doubles events of a tournament, in the same year. The last man to do so was Jim Courier, at the 1991 Indian Wells Super 9.[4]
It was Rafael Nadal's 1st title of the year, and his 24th overall. It was his 1st Masters title of the year, his 10th overall, and his 4th consecutive win at the event.
