Gaël Monfils leaves in the first round in Hamburg (strongly Roland!)

Monfils you sleep, your mill, your mill ... -

Gaël Monfils, seeded number 3 in Hamburg, was released from the outset on Tuesday by the German Yannick Hanfmann, 103rd in the world, 6-4, 6-3, an ominous defeat a few days before the start of Roland -Garros.

The 34-year-old Frenchman, ninth in the world, had already been eliminated as soon as he entered the competition last week at the Masters 1000 in Rome, where he was making his return to competition after several months of stoppage due to the coronavirus epidemic.

In the second round, Hanfmann, 28 years old and present thanks to a wild card, will face the Chilean Cristian Garin (22nd in the world), defender of Kei Nishikori.
