1995: Thomas Muster defeated Boris Becker, 4–6, 5–7, 6–1, 7–6 (6), 6–0

 

 

The legendary Boris Becker and former World champion was always denied the Monte Carlo title. A fate he shares with fellow legends Stefan Edberg, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer. This was Becker’s third finals and third loss. Becker, one of the most effective players in his era on grass courts and carpet courts, had less success on clay. He never won a top-level singles title on clay, coming closest when holding two match points against Thomas Muster in the final of the 1995.

The ninth seeded Thomas Muster became the underdog the crowd cheered for against the second seeded Becker. Muster thereby won his second Monte-Carlo title after the grueling 5 set match. It showed the best individual performances by the two players.
