And Monfils breaks back, how predictable. 5-5 in the third. Looks to be a fairly low quality match imo.

Monfils' early matches are always like that. He's a lazy prick and he plays down (or up) to the level of whoever he's matched against.
Monfils appeared hampered by something physical rather than mental, that wouldve been pretty obvious to anyone watching.

Nice to see the contrasting style of a serve and volleyer, although he's probably gonna need a bit more than that to beat Murray.

Well, I have to admit I wasn't watching. But he is a mug.
Wow; you reckon, do you?
So, pray tell, then. Why did he miraculously go from supposedly being pretty much unable to move more than a step to running easily from coast to coast and leaping to hit volleys all within the space of about 20 minutes?

Loving the Fox commentary on the Monfils match, they are basically saying what everyone is thinking and bagging it. Many lulz is being had in this one.

Mr needle?
The trainer certainly helped. Dropped a couple of games early as the back was still a little sore but as the set ended it was much more even.
Just got back from the tennis and man did i pick a shit day to go. Retirements, bagels...a total yawnfest on centre court today!
Was at the Monfils game and gees he was playing up his "inury" big time. I left after he lost the 2nd set and I said to the people next to me that Monfils will win the match. I cannot sit and watch a person who is as skilled as he is simply not try, not run for balls, basically give up on points. Monfils is brilliant to watch at times, but other times very frustrating.

I hope 7 replay the Monfils match. Henri Leconte would be going off.
Well how bout I just go kill myself so I'm not tempted to post in this thread again
That seems a little drastic.......
But seriously, Monfils has a little bit of history when it comes to this kind of stuff.
Maybe, no doubt it would please some though.
He still looks somewhat hampered, the other bloke has just completely dropped his bundle.

It's not our fault if you imply we weren't watching and tell us something is "obvious" when, given a long list of similar incidents in the past, it's not.
He could never possibly play injured then? Always just in his head?
Bigger story at the moment is the commentator basically accusing the match of being fixed, the Foxtel commentary of this match has been just as bizarre as the match itself.
