The commentators said "It worked a little bit" after Monfils took three straight games from the #1. Anything that "works" against Djokovic is big even if it doesn't win in the end. Monfils emphasis on showmanship simply doesn't appeal to them, because they're missing the appeal in tennis of showmanship.
Novak 18 : 0 Monfils (H2H score) .. I think Novak was never intimidated by him or anyone on the tour for that matter, although he respects his opponents.
You can use your racket or hand (or words) to do the apology. Monfils had raised his left hand, but the camera just didn't really show it. Even if Monfils didn't apologize, it's still okay not to in this case since his intention was a drop shot either way (not like he swung really hard and it clips over the net).
Monfils one of the most annoying players on tour he always pretends to have an injury he did it to Rublev , so glad this clown never won a match against Nole!!!
u obviosly have never played sports because you would know that at some points you may feel you've tweaked something or taken a bad step but end up being fine
One of the weirdest matches that I’ve ever watched. Gael slow balled Novak in the 3rd set and it actually worked
Lol, I was going to write exactly the same thing. You beat me to it.
he didnt slowball the 3rd at all actually
Well It didn't becouse he lost the match
This is definitely a fascinating match, Novak never looked so uncomfortable
Shoulder issues

Gael just decided not to play and suddenly play in second part of the match
and then again suddenly not play
when it came to blatant blow for blow, novak came out on top
Djokovic's volleys and serve was so bad then compared to now
true, also his forehand.. so frail and weak.
It’s lke gael is the new playing video game so he just decided to hit all the buttons
Monfils wasn’t intimidated 💪💪 instead he intimidated djokovic

16:48 isn't etiquette to raise your racquet in apology?
Monfils isn't exactly known for his sportsmanship.

Disgraceful match by Monfils really
Your mother is disgraceful..
@@airkuna bad day or something?
@@TheRafaelBond 👽👽😳😳🥊🥊😂😂
Agreed. All the bs isn't enough, he's still 18-0
Disgraceful how? You mad that someone exposed and took advantage of Djokovic's weakness?
Not a match
Monfils one of the most annoying players on tour he always pretends to have an injury he did it to Rublev , so glad this clown never won a match against Nole!!!

Lol, dont be such a sheep
u obviosly have never played sports because you would know that at some points you may feel you've tweaked something or taken a bad step but end up being fine
Yup, over and over again . He's out of the top 40 now so it clearly doesn't work well
