    This is classic Gael Monfils. For two sets he looked fed up, moped about the court and resorted to trying crazy shots. Then all of a sudden he pulls off a couple of great shots, the crowd wake up and he looks inspired.

    I still think there's another twist in the tale here. Murray will get this done.

    Huge hold for Murray there. Seems to be back on the balls of his feet as well.

    Some match now, pity it wont finish tonight.

    Thing is, Murray has so many shots in his locker, he can play offensive or defensive. He used to frustrate Federer all the time by grinding out games. Needs to do that just now, get a break and knock Monfils out his stride.

    Massive. Now Monfils will want the match to finish now.

    What a winner to take the third game of the 5th.

    I don't think even Murray knows why he has a tendency to collapse in the middle of matches sometimes.

    I see Monfils is imploding again, yet he looked so up for it after the last 2 sets.

    This is where Murray shows his class. He starts to pick out shots

    I love how Monfils plays so care-free and un-encumbered. :smiley-laughing002:

    Remember watching a match and during sets instead of eating a banana and drinking water like every other tennis player, Monfils slurped down a can of Coke.

    What a maverick.

    What a final set! Massive character there from Murray to stem the Monfils momentum. Enjoyed that match.

    Well played Murray. That's your French Open over though.

    That's superb. Monfils looked the only winner after the fourth set.

    Really is. Some of his shots are outstanding. He just has that self-destruct button.
