Monfils is definitely one of the most entertaining player on tour. Unfortunately he had to cope with a horrbile year plagued with injuries and some people were even doubting about his comeback (see Laconte’s intervew).
Gael had finally received a wildcard in Auckland to try to stage his comeback from a horrible 77th rank (first time Gael eneded outside the top 20 in 5 years)
“Back in the top 10”
‘I have been in the top ten, so for sure I want to get back there. The start of the season will be very hard because I need to get matches for confidence, and to feel that I’m back, like definitely back, week after week,’ he said.
“Enjoy the court”
‘First, I just want to enjoy being on the court,’ Monfils added. ‘When you’re injured, you’re not a tennis player any more. You’re just someone trying to get healthy quick.’
Good luck!
