Fabio Fognini cruised past Serbian Dusan Lajovic 6-3, 6-4 on Sunday to win the Monte Carlo Masters in Monaco.
With the victory, Fognini became the first Italian to win an ATP Masters 1000 title.
"I just can't believe it; I really don't know," Fognini said. "I'm really, really happy. I have nothing to say. I have to keep calm and take a shower, relax and think about it because it's something incredible."
It took Fognini, the 13th seed, an hour and 38 minutes to capture the tournament. With the win, he will jump to a career-high ranking of No. 12 when the newest ATP rankings come out on Monday. He entered the week ranked No. 18.

Fognini vs Lajovic in Monte Carlo final
Fabio Fognini pulled off a stunner on Saturday, ousting 11-time champ and No. 2 seed Rafael Nadal 6-4, 6-2 in the semifinals of the Monte Carlo Masters at Monaco.
The 13th-seeded Italian reached the first Masters 1000 level final of his career with the victory.
Nadal hadn't lost in 18 matches in the event.
"I probably played one of the worst matches on clay in 14 years," said Nadal. "When that happens, you have to lose. And today I deserved to lose because I played against a player that was better than me today."
