Today is just another example. He does that all the time, every time a match is tight and he's behind in the scoreline.
Add to that the incredibly obnoxious Parisian crowd, and it will help Monfils' opponent to produce one of the most monumental 'chokes' of recent times.

If you thought Djokovic was an injury faker, then he's got tremenduous work to make in order to equal Monfils' 'talent'.

Cuevas took MTO too.

Nicknamed Clownfils for a reason

But there is a difference between being a clown and being a faker.

 

[Chokehater]

Yeah, let's blame Monfils for Cuevas' pathetic choking :facepalm:

 

[InfoKenway]

Monfils didn't fake anything.
If taking MTO is faking than Cuevas faked more than anyone in this tournament.

 

[Ace Pounder]

Yeah, let's blame Monfils for Cuevas' pathetic choking :facepalm:

Pressure of making the first 4th round of a Slam + the crowd certainly won't help, but if you see your opponent faking injuries, it just adds even more pressure. And Monfils knows it. He knows it works against mental dwarfs. Good on him, I guess, but that's just extremely ugly and bad for the sport.

This!

Cuevas took a MTO in all 3 of his matches thís tourney

The difference is that Monfils does that all the freaking time! Every time I get to watch him play, he does that. Every single time.

Can you name at least 1 match in 2015 where Monfils faked injury (except this) ?

 

[Paolo Pinkel]

Maxing out at #7 in the ranking and one single slam SF to your name - that's how you get away with anything.

Gael is a cool guy, but ultimately - he's just there, being irrelevant.

Stupid thread.. enjoying the match.. enjoying the comebak.. crowd can cheer as long as they are quiet when ball is in play....

Faking injuries is a norm for him, so, to answer your question, every time I watch him play. There is always a moment he starts making faces and holding a part of his body, as if it was hurting.

CLownfils is one of the worst disgraces to tennis.

Yeah they can cheer the opponent unforced errors..

That French crowd doesn't deserve a slam.

Making faces has nothing to do with faking injuries.

 

[Julián Santiago]

Now watch this disgusting clown playing the match of his life against Olderer and without any signs of injury

Just pathetic

I don't give a crank's ass about Federer, right now, honestly. If he wins in 2 days, that's good. But right now, I'm speaking about morality in sports.

Cuevas took MTO too. Why are you only talking about Monfils?
If Monfils faked injury today, than Cuevas faked too.
