Albert Montanes Wins ATP Title at Nice

Nice ATP 250 - Men's Final

Albert Montanes d WC Gael Monfils - 60 76(3)

Not bad for someone not even planning to play this event.

He was a very lasy minute replacement for Berdych suffering fatique.

This is Albert's 6th title and 1st in nearly 2 years.

That over 30 crowd is still making noise. And it makes me goofy happy.

Post match: I was not supposed to play here in the first place.

I was in my home town, 200km from Barcelona, with friends when

I found out I was entering the main draw last Saturday night.

So it’s pretty incredible that I am here now with the Nice trophy.

No doubt the fact that I came here with no pressure, just happy to play,

taking it day-by-day and match-by-match, helped me win this week.
