Gael won another tricky match to consolidate his comeback in professional tennis. This was an exciting match between 2 of the most unpredictable players on the circuit.
After 4 spectacular and “high speed” sets, it was Monfils to claim another important scalp after defeating world no.5 Tomas Berdych in the first round.
From Gael
“He amazed me,” Monfils commented after he match. “I mean, he was hitting the balls so hard, so fast. I was also astounded because, at the end of the day, he’s a good defender, and so that means that what really was important for me was to be solid from the baseline.”
Next vs. Robredo
Gael will play Robredo in the next round. Head to head is 2-1 for Robredo, 1-1 o clay, but they do not play each other for 7 years.
