I hope some of this match is still on by the time I get home from work later on today because Monfils always puts on a good show.

They'd better be good, because Monfils is the fastest guy on tour. SO looking forward to watching this one. Remember, Monfils' GF, Svitolina, is still in the tournament. This is an X-factor. Men are peacocks, and often bring their best when trying to show off for a women. Or especially not to be shown UP by one. Lots going on here. And don't forget, Berrettini knows that Kelli is pulling for him...
Have you seen the interview in the ESPN studio with Elina and Gael?
It was about their relationship, how they got together. It was interesting and cute.

As long as Monfils isn’t injured, I’d rather have him get through. Berrettini is too green to give us a good show in the next round. I just turned on the match, and see Mongils isn’t pushing the ball as he’s been doing his entire career. Good job, Svitolina.

I agree. I've seen the talk about how Monfils has changed now, but Monfils-Djokovic 2016 SF was a joke on Gael's part

Gael is really anticipating the shots of Berrettini and a really clean set of tennis from him to win the 1st set 63

I have always thought Monfils could have won a major or two if he played with aggression. All that power and speed but no desire to win. Could this be the year?

Can anyone please explain to me who this black tennis player is?
Never saw him play that serious!
He obviously takes it serious, finally.

Nope, his next opponent is Nadal ;-):

Just glanced at my phone at the results so far and it looks like Monfils is playing well. Still hope I can catch the tail end of the match once I get home from work.

Great soft hands for a volley at the net from Berrettini

I have to find a nick name for him:) both his first name and surname is too long to type all the time

Nice hands from the big guy. And with a broken string.

I missed the first set, but it looks like Matteo's gotten past his nerves?
