Can FAA even win a set tomorrow? I'm thinking Gael defends his title tomorrow regardless, here I thought he would never get to double digits in titles a few years back... He may win 5 of his last 7 finals lol... All started when Ivo failed to serve out the match at Washington 2016.

He's only 19. Let's not worry too much whether he will win or not. And let's not crap on him while he gets his career going consistently.

Indeed. He said "The first one I was nervous, the second one I was injured, and the third one I brought to a tie break"

With his title defence in Rotterdam, Monfils has achieved several firsts:

First time winning more than 1 title in a season.
First time defending a title.
First time winning a title back to back (following Montpellier last week) .
First player to win multiple titles in Rotterdam since Federer (2012).
First player to win back to back titles in Rotterdam since Söderling (2010-11).
First French player to win back to back titles in Rotterdam since Escude (2001-2).

Hence my winky face, It's not that serious. I've defended FAA for similar thoughts. Anyway, I thought Gael would make it double digits, he's having a great start to the year.

Guru has absorbed Simon's junkballing ability. He shall be unstoppable from this day forth.
