Gael Monfils is an unfundamentally sound tennis player with no strategy for most of his matches. But, could that be a reason that David Ferrer has not been able to beat him in two career meetings?
LaMonf beat Ferrer in a five set Davis Cup thrill ride last Fall on an indoor surface & then beat him in four sets at the French Open in 2008.
Nothing suggests Monfils has the form currently to beat an in-form Ferrer, but Ferrer has often found himself on the wrong end of losses @ RG before advancing very deep.
Melzer whipped Ferrer in straights last year.
Soderling beat him in the 3rd round in 2009 - although that was Soderling's breakout.
Lost to Monfils in 2008 in the QF.
Lost to Verdasco in four sets in 2007 in the 3rd.
Lost in straights in 2006 to Ramirez-Hidalgo in the 3rd.
Lost in straights to Nadal in 2005.
Lost in the 2nd round to Benneteau in 2004.
Lost in the 2nd round to Ferreira in 2003.
Failed to qualify in 2002.
MONFILS +340
This is a fukking stupid fukking wager. I am 0-7 in the last two days. But there is something that this idiot does that throws off Ferrer. I dunno. Take this information for what it's worth. I just think this jackass is going to do something weird tomorrow ... don't know if weird is a win or retiring with a torn vagina, but you heard it here ... La Monf is a wack job.
