Monte Carlo Rolex Masters, Monaco, ATP Masters 1000

[Bert]

Waiting for the men's final, French colours are already shining in Monte-Carlo as Herbert/Mahut won their 3rd Masters 1000 in a row after Indian Wells and Miami And they take the lead at the Race in front of their opponents Murray/Soares

This could give some ideas to Monfils... or not

Nadal should take this but Monfils has played well this week.

 

[Bert]

If Monfils wants to play further back behind the baseline, he would have to go in the stands... just crazy how far he plays

 

[Bert]

Great tennis !!! We will have good time today

 

[Federberg]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, when Gael plays well he's one of the best. Key word being "when"

 

[britbox]

Nadal gets the break. Unreal defence.

 

[Bert]

That's why the best are the best... they always play well Those who can't are only good

 

[britbox]

Nadal gifts Gael three BPs

 

[Federberg]

that 15 all point just highlights the tactical limitations in Gaels game. It's tactical, because we know this guy can do everything on the court. He could have finished it with a volley, and only lucked out because Nadal fluffed a drop shot attempt

 

[Federberg]

wow! No one hits it harder when he's in the mood. What's Wozniacki doing there?

Nadal's inside out forehand has been bang on the money.

 

[Billie]

Good morning....looks like a good fight ahead of us. I thought that Gael would go away after being broken, but it doesn't look like it now.

 

[britbox]

Morning Billie... although it's late night here.

Morning Billie... although it's late night here.

Yeah good late night for you guys on the opposite side of the globe.

 

[britbox]

Monfils must be infuriating to follow at times, because it looks like he has so much more to give at time and he demonstrates it sporadically... I think @Rides follows Le Monf, would be interested in her opinion.

 

[Billie]

^Yeah, that was a lousy loss of serve for Le Monf. But he has a couple of chances to redeem himself....1 chance now.

 

[Billie]

Great point from both guys...deuce.

 

[Bert]

Monfils asking for a Coke

 

[Billie]

Danger time for Gael....down 4:5 0:30
