At Roland-Garros,

He landed in the conference room as bad as his tennis.

As one might fear, Roland's famous magic did not operate this time for Gaël Monfils in an empty and soulless Lenglen.

The top-ranked Frenchman took the door in the first round for the first time since 2005, a year when he was smart about landing as a boxer on the same court before being knocked down by Canas.

🎙️ "I make a lot of mistakes, I place myself very badly [...] I simply do not play well".

15 years later, Monfils has not taken his opponent over the leg, quite the contrary.

It's just that he doesn't know where he lives since the takeover.

“I don't have great feelings at the moment, I don't think it has been seen.

It's hard for me to be good, to be able to play well.

Bublik made his match, I made a lot of mistakes, a lot of doubles, my trip was very bad.

It is sure that it gives a not great result ”.

"What can I do if I want to get mad?"



While he had the break in his pocket Gaël Monfils was joined by Alexander Bublik!

The 9th player in the world is dragging his spleen so much from the moment that he even took a little cabbage with a colleague who asked him what he wanted after three defeats in three games in the first round.

“I'm disappointed, of course.

I don't see what more I can tell you.

There are players who have lost more than three times in the first round, I do not understand this question ”.

We will not insist more, hoping to find a Monfils happier to play tennis in 2021. Or before.
