Gael Monfils has an impressive start of his campaign in Sofia after defeating Viktor Troicki 6-3 6-4.
The Frenchman was in great form to never drop his serve for the entire match. Therefore, a break per set was enough for Gael to defeat Troicki. The encounter lasted just 59 minutes. Monfils’ girlfriend, Elina Svitolina, was also attending the match.
