      Look at Nadal vs Verdasco at AO 2009.
      Verdasco lost by a narrow margin, but his performance was out of the ordinary and he never again reached that level.
      That's what it means to play against the BIG3.
      Even if you give the best performance of your life, it doesn't mean you will win.

    Monfils was so passive in the first set

  • @jongmoon5368
    @jongmoon5368 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Monfils' athleticism is world class and maybe the best tennis has ever seen - and it might be a factor to why his shot selection is so poor at times.
    Look at the rally at @11:28. He hits a good serve, Novak's return lands on the service line with no real pace nor direction - which for how good Novak is at returning is about as good as outcome you can hope for as a server. But Monfils hits a last second switch to a slice that barely has any bite on the ball, and lands in no man's land? And then he keep hitting slices (really bad slices as well) for no reason even though he's not really in a defensive position. Sure, he wins the point but surely he could have played that point better. His athleticism is what won him the point, if you look at a lot of the rallys in this match it's really a wonder why he hits these pointless slices and chips when he has the game to hit offensive shots. Look at the point at @9:44 for example. Not a single slice, he's in full control of the rally and hits with pace and deep in the court. I've watched a lot of Monfils matches and it's like he prefers playing defensively - even though he doesn't need to and is fully capable of taking over offensively.

    • @jiritichy7967
      @jiritichy7967 ปีที่แล้ว

      Commentators often talked about Monfils as the best athlete, but in tennis, you cannot be just a good sprinter, you also need endurance and Monfils did not have that in five set matches against top players.
