“`Can I allowed to tape the wave?” this is he quirky question Gael did to the empire during his match against Mad Max Gulbis. Actually this is the things you do not expect during such a tense match… but that’s Gael… and that’s why we love him.
The Frenchaman finally had the go ahead (“`Sure, you can.’ So I say, `OK, I will tape it, like quick. No worries.”).
After that there was a couple nice exchange of words with Gulbis that considers himself a sort of fan of Monfils… to then play the match!
Eventually Monfils won 6-7(5) 6-4 7-6(4) 6-2 for the delight of the home crowd to face Robredo in the next one.
