RG R3: Monfils beats Darcis 6-3 6-4 7-5

Good match, Darcis does have a nice touch. Completely lost it though in the third set when he was 5-2 in front.

Monfils played really well, I thought.

to bad, was hoping he'd lose here

Nice choke from Darcis in 3rd, Andujar would be proud

Monfils taking advantage of his cake draw. At least he did his job!

Monfils almost had three love games in a row from 3-5 to 6-5 (Darcis managed to grab a point at 5-5, 0-40), including two service games by Darcis :help:

the french crowd was getting excited after every single point won by monfils :haha:

anyway, good win for gael

All right!

I'm sure Gael whipped the crowd into a frenzy with that stirring comeback

Very intriguing match with Pics up next

Monfils playing well. He eviscerated Pics at the French a couple years ago. Hopefully he will do so again.

Good tournament Steve. Keep this momentum going in these next weeks.

Nice win, Clownfils.
