Bercy R2: Monaco def Simon 6-4 6-0

Great result.

The French are equal opportunity when it comes to jeering.

Total destruction from Juan:), Simug got a taste of another bagel in the 2nd set just like he got from Robin last year.:wavey:

:haha::haha::haha::haha::haha:

Simug :bigwave:

my god Simug is pathetic. Frenchies dropping like flies.

France :haha:

Bad day at the office for Gilles. He was exceptionally bad today. But his game can bore you to tears so.....

Simon :rolls:

What trash.

LAWD :haha: :haha: :haha:


:spit: :superlol:

That might be worse than losing to Sickerling last year

Simon must be relieved that the Asian swing/indoor season is over. Losses to Granollers, Edben, Mannarino, Davydenko and now Monaco to end the year.

:help: :help: Poor Frenchies.

Has Simon ever had a string of losses this bad?
Since losing to Murray in a close match in Bangkok, he's had a 2nd round loss to Ebden and four :eek: first round losses all to vastly inferior players. I just don't get where this is coming from. Hopefully he'll be back to his old self after the break.

Just pathetic from Simon!

For the first time in the history of the tournament there wasn't a 3-set match in the 2nd round (only two tie-breaks), even Isner won in unusual style today :spit:

I am not even a fan of Simon but getting bageled by Monaco in indoor hard? :eek: :eek:

These indoor hardcourts are slow as ass ;)

...yet he still loses winnable finals like it's nobody's business. :sad:

Safin got bagelled too by Monaco in 2008 in the same tournament, iirc.

These indoor hardcourts are slow as ass ;)

You got a point there :lol: although Valencia was even slower :eek:

From another thread:

That's what you get for slowing down the courts. Monfils in the finals and Llodra in the semis (Tsonga didn't play) was not enough?

I hope all the frenchies bombs out early so they change it back next year.

Gasquet will get crushed by Fed tomorrow, and Tsonga will probably lose to Djokovic friday.

I'm not blaming all the losses on the courts, but it certainly didn't get any better this way.

Wow, what a result. Gilles needs to get his head on straight.

so what? it's clay, that was to be expected. Plus Simon isn't exactly on a good run these days

Simug at his finest.

Gonna be really interesting to see where Simon is next season, his level really since at least the USO has not been good at all. Injuries probably caught up to him during the indoor season. Needs to rest up and get back to 100%.

played like shit and remind me last year against Granollers, standed on the court and did nothing

No, it has nothing to do with injuries imo.

Gillou has been very misterious these last weeks in french newspapers. He says that he's trying to make changes in his game, in order to progress in the rankings. He states that he knows where's going. But the results are not there obviously.

Good for tennis. Pusher out.

:help: :help: Poor Frenchies.

This. Total meltdown...

:spit: :rolls: awesome. Good riddance.

Yeah yeah fuck yes :woohoo: So many gooooooooooooood results: Tipsarevic and now Pushimon out :drool:
Juan :bowdown:

I'd understand if he was serving and volleying on first and second serves all the way, but he was just pushing the ball in the middle of the court and still managed to shank one into the stands every third point or so. That's not experimenting, that's just playing like shit.

wow, somebody's slumping pretty badly :unsure:

Gracias Pico, you make me feel happy as each time this awful Simon loses...a bagel...what a delight...
Good luck Argies for DC final

Ok I haven't see him playing since some weeks now. It's weird because he's honest and already has interesting things to say. That's why I sais he was misterious lately as I didn't get the point of what he was saying.

A slump. Not his first! He's still top 20, nothing to get all fussed up about. And Monaco is quite hot right now.

gillou :facepalm: awful result
