Metz R1: Monfils def. Rochus 6-3,6-2

Gael played out of his mind :worship: Allez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The King is back :worship:

Got home in time to see the last game lol, 4 straight aces alezzzzzz!

Great to see Gael playing well again :D

He's back :bowdown:

Alleeeeezzzz Gael, one comeback at a time, tennis is coming back to life again.

Didn't see anything but the stats. :eek: Gael, have you become a serve bot? ;)

Jo-Gael final is very possible!!!

:banana:

Don't get overexcited people, Monfils was about 9 months off-court. It's very likely to happen that he will lose badly in the next round.

Great match by Gael :worship: , he was moving well, serving like a god and with an improved slice and volley.

:facepalm:

Very happy =)

I'd say stay healthy but that sounds stupid, so...just don't get injured too soon Gael!

:worship:

Some player should do a victory dance like this :lol:

Sad for Olli though, didn't see the match but guess Monfils must have played well.

He's back :D

:sobbing::scared: I keep seeing Oli losing. I hope he isn't growing younger

NID

Lol at the guys in the poll who thought he would lose to Rochus, who can't trouble anyone these days! :lol:

Come on Gael! :D

21 aces in such a quick match is borderline unbelievable. I'm sure he's so happy to be back.

impressive scoreling after an injury break. Welcome back :)

21/28 first serves were aces :o

He's back :D

:sobbing::scared: I keep seeing Oli losing. I hope he isn't growing younger

I think he now has only 2 wins out of his last 19 ATP MD matches played :eek: (and one win by retirement of the opponent)

Why is everyone so surprised with the aces? It´s a fast surface against Rochus. Monfils would only need to kick serve to ace Rochus.

Also 28/28 (14/14 in each set) of points won when first serve is in. How often does 100% happen?

Welcome back, Gael! The on-court entertainment on tour just went up by 25% !

:woohoo:

Great first match from Gael :D Allez. The tour needs a fit and in form Gael for 2013.

The best pure athlete the game has ever seen is BACK!!

He won it... :singer: Oppa Gangnam Style :singer: :rocker2: :rocker2:

I fully expect to see Gael dancing to that song on court before this year is through. :D

I just hope he doesn't hurt himself while doing it. :facepalm:

Allez Monf!

great news he is back :) we missed him so much

Gael is baaack ??? :hearts: :hug: :hearts:

If you want to hit 21 aces in 9 games, do it against Rochus.

Even Gasquet is able to trash Rochus so really, that doesn't say anything.
Monfils and Tsonga will NEVER win a Slam.
