The last time Gaël Monfils won a tennis match, humans were walking forward with their faces uncovered and hardly anyone yet knew what a pangolin was.
Eight months therefore that the French has no longer raised his arms to the sky and obviously things do not seem to improve over time.
For his return to competition after his elimination in the first round at Roland Garros, the Monf 'had to give up during the match in Vienna for his entry into contention against the Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta.

Touched "in the neck or in the right shoulder" according to
L'Equipe
, the player had to call on the physiotherapist after the loss of the first round (2-6) but that did not change anything.
After a seventh double fault in just five engagements in the second set, the 11th player in the world said stop.
“It wasn't a real game, he couldn't serve.
On this kind of surface, it's difficult to fight without being able to serve, ”conceded his opponent of the day, visibly upset for Monfils.
Can't wait for 2021.
