seriously have you ever seen monfils so focused and disciplined during a whole match?
Legend Monfils
is this sped up or is that just me?
woulda loved to see this match
I love how they stopped showing the girlfriend after the 1st set 😂😂😂
Fritz made it easy for Monfils by sending the ball to him. He should have used tge court to tire Monfils.
우리 마이콜 닮은 몽피스…
오랜만에 16강 올라가네..ㅎㅎㅎ
축하합니다.🤣
As long as he stays injury free Gael can be at his best.
That was an outstanding performance.
God I love Gael. Such a pleasure to seem him making this GS run in the sunset of his career. Is the "impossible" dream alive? Could Monfils yet win a GS?!
In the battle of Novak toys, the older Novak toy shows his class 😉 Would be absolute magic if we get a Novak-Gael final, as fanciful as that is with Sinner in Gael's half, and both Alcaraz AND Zverev in Novak's half. Hoping Monfils crushes the always irritating Shelton tomorrow — if Gael can beat GMP handily, and easily neutralize (an admittedly below par) Fritz serve, Shelton's serve shouldn't threaten him much. Allez Gael!!!
Doesn't help when the entire crowd is literally cheering for Monfils
Monfils taking down Fritz in a Grand slam in 2025 is great for the sport
@AO, Please stop putting the winner on your thumbnail! Some of us don't know who won yet so you're spoiling it for us!!!
FRITZ IS SO 1 DIMENTIONAL, ALWAYS HITTING IT TO GAELS STRENGTHS. I MEAN MONFILS STANDING WAY BACK BEHIND THE BASELINE AND HE DON'T TRY NO DROPS, SO POOR. SO SO AVERAGE.
Monfils is always a delight to watch him play.
Mon Dieu!
Monfils and Svitolina, husband and wife, beating the number 4 seeds, in the same 3rd round. This is some mad level of upsets, and upside for the family.🎉🎉
This hardcourt surface seems very slow. This point was in fact mentioned by Pegula. She said she felt it was even slower than clay. I have watched some highlights and kind of agree. If so, that means big hitters will have trouble making winners from the baseline.
Monfils is not hitting big at all here. Most of the time he rather places shots than hitting big. For one thing, he is not young. If he keeps hitting big and trying to make winners, especially in this slow court, he will be out of gas soon. He also positions himself behind the baseline further a bit so can catch some winner-grade shots. It gives him extra time to reach the shots because of the slowness of shots after they bounce. His tactics worked really well. I am sure all the players are aware of this condition and discussing this with their team. I am wondering how this court condition affects all the players who are still in. Who would be the beneficiaries and disadvantaged? This could be a bit disadvantageous for Sinner. Alcaraz may be favored because of the variety of his game style. It may be easier for him to find solutions in various challenging situations. I am not sure about Djokovic. He typically places shots rather than hitting big. But he is not young, either. It will be interesting how it is progressing from here.
Gaels just having fun in tennis court
amazing he can play this well at this age. he's fun to watch.
Autistic Gael @ 7:00 😆 I'm sure the commentator will take some heat for that.
How crazy is that to beat a seed 3 pro with a decathlon racket
this is straight out of a movie. Come on Monfils… Keep it going!!!
The way gael gaining confidence…. The upcoming legend 🎉🎉🎉on the way
the way he celebrated was iconic lol
AUSTRALIAN OPEN IS IT ILLEGAL TO PUT BREAK POINTS??? 7:26
Real ball player. Much respect
Watching Monfils puts a smile on my face – his enjoyment of playing is so easy to share!
モンフィスのテニスはいつ見ても楽しい。それは昔から変わらない。
Thank u monmmnmnnmmmmmnmfeils . Taking out thst sloppy skinny skank
Taylor Fritz is pure ass. How'd he ever get to be ranked 4 in the world??
Thank you, Mr.Monfils!
1:10 wow 😮
What a victory for Gael Monfils, a very good win and he celebrated at the end of the match which proves he was feeling delighted with himself,the win and the performance at the Australian Open. A big victory and that means now G Monfils is still in the hat for the championship as he could WIN the Mens' Singles 2025 Australian Open. Monfils has to try his best now as big matches come he could find himself playing the best tennis professionals this season in the latter rounds because he has won the early rounds so he is now in the mix and goin to the crucial parts and matches of the Australian Open so it is time to deliver and the question now is this one, can Gael Monflis do his best and challenge for glory at the 2025 Australian Open?
hopefully he is able to repeat this performance!
I thought monfils retired….awesome player….remember him playing when i was a teen….😂
(M)on Fi(re)ls! ❤🔥
I'm Italian, so surely no fan of French Players. But I have absolutely nothing against Monfils winning some titles!
best moments in ao25 until now. Monfils good af
i curse humanity for still not inventing a camera capable of capturing good shots with extreme dynamic range in light. his celebration was supposed to be the that cinematic moment. still, what matters is the content. i´m being picky
I think Tommy Paul is better than Fritz
That celebration from Monfils at the end is so fun to see!
Come on Monfils!
Monfils always had a great touch, He has a big chance to reach semis.
Monfils is like Fine Wine …Getting Awesome with Age…Dis Game was Superbly Dope
top 10 being humiliated
