he's going to retireComment -
I don't think he will retire. I've seen him play on what basically looked like one leg for a set at a Slam, tanked a whole set and then suddenly he could move again. Think he won the match ...with Monfils you never know the severity either, guy is a drama queen. Could be 90% showmanship, 10% actual injury.
Dimitrov is also an inconsistent bastard ... so Monfils could wait him out and pick his spot.Comment -
He is a drama queen. If he was playing anyone with half a brain, he'd be toast.Comment -
10% at most actual injuryComment -
So many times this same shit happens. I'm just tired of Monfils injury and then everyone is like !!! he can't move and when he wins they claim he's a hero winning on one leg... And he goes ahead and hits a half-volley between his legs at 5-1 in that first set tiebreakComment -
I think most people who follow tennis are keen to it now JNic. Even ESPN kind of tongue and cheek poked at it without actually calling him a faker. I like watching him play, but certainly this sort of BS does get old.Comment -
Monfils looked completely exhausted and worn down near the end of that 2nd set and by that 3rd set he was startin to tank a little bit... Dimitrov was just as tired though, just didnt show it. I saw Monfils, he could barely keep his eyes open and his shirt looked like he just jumped in a swimming pool, only it was sweatComment -
I like Monfils' game and flamboyant 'fun' persona. I do not like the hot-dogging and injury-faking/exaggerating. Tough to find the line between the two though. As stated, if it were deeper in the tourney, he'd be toast putting on that 'performance'.Comment
