Monfils doesnt deserve 19 losses

[Sephiroth]

I am sad

 

[Ronaldo]

This tops Vitas, R.I.P. And the beat goes on

 

[nachiket nolefam]

Amazing. They were kids when Nole beat him in 5 at the usopen. Monfils never won a match.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Worse players than Monfils have beaten Djokovic over the years so I do feel a bit sorry for Gael. Dubai 2020 was the one that really got away but he got tight, perhaps understandably so, and that was all she wrote.

 

[Ronaldo]

Amazing. They were kids when Nole beat him in 5 at the usopen. Monfils never won a match.

 

[Kralingen]

Nah, he at least had a chance.

After he lost this he was never going to beat Djokovic though even in 100 tries.

 

[CoolCoolCool]

Amazing. They were kids when Nole beat him in 5 at the usopen. Monfils never won a match.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought he at least won a couple of their matches despite the 19-0 h2h.

I am just relishing in this victory.

Unfortunately he didn't.

 

[Ronaldo]

Had to re-visit their H2H match scores just to Ketchup on these victories

 

[Start da Game]

his h2h against bug-3 is 6-43

 

[Krish0608]

Him, Gasquet and Ferrer are the ultimate pigeons to their Big 3 overlords.

 

[Hitman]

Monfils really blew it in his career when it came to seizing moments.

This was his biggest one. Golden opportunity to make his first slam final and just clowned it away against a wayward Djokovic was begging to be put away.

 

[Krish872007]

He had a couple of chances to get it done - match points in Dubai that one year

 

[Hitman]

Lets not forget this one, final set tie break in the final of Paris masters. This was the closest Monfils ever got to winning a big title, Djokovic did him there also.

 

[AO13]

Nah, he at least had a chance.

After he lost this he was never going to beat Djokovic though even in 100 tries.

I remember watching this match live. Gael himself said after the match that he will never beat him after that match.

The fact is, Gael played like a pussycat on match points.

It may not have been the match I was hoping for against the GOAT, but it's still an honor and a pleasure to face @DJOKERNOLE. In spite of everything, it remains a positive week. I'm going to rest to be on top at the US Open. Thank you so much for your incredible support

The fact that Djokovic got all the way to the final that year was pitiful.

 

[Shaolin]

Yes he does. At least try something new instead of the same thing for 65 years straight.

S&v, r&v, hit every fh 100 mph, underhand serve every time, whatever but don't just do the same thing that gets you beat.

Sad thing is Monf can literally do anything he wants with the ball so there's just no excuse.

so lemme get this straight. monfils asks for his autograph after he gets beat 19x in a row?!?
monfils is turning into a nextgenner

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Yea he deserves 30 at least. 19 straight losses and you can’t manage to make a change in how you approach playing the guy? Hell go for broke on serve every time. No second serve speed. Just attack the net every point. . What do you got to lose? It’s the definition of insanity.

Hopefully Gael will hire you as his new coach.

 

[Hitman]

It was because of guys like Monfils clowning away golden opportunities.

If a NextGenner got Novak’s autograph on his jersey after a Masters 1000 loss, they would be catching a lot of heat. I guess the players consider it a privilege to play against Djokovic, win or lose now that he has sealed his GOAT status.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Monfils had his chances in a few of the meetings but wasn’t clutch enough. Djokovic as he tends to do made him pay for it every time.

 

[Mainad]

Match-ups can be strange things. I guess, for some players, there are just some guys you're never destined to beat. For Ferrer, it was Federer (0-17), for Gasquet it's Nadal (0-18), for Monfils it's obviously Djokovic (0-19 and counting). Maybe it's at least partly a mental thing??

Seems like Gael has the potential to beat Djoker

 

[kevin qmto]

Worse players than Monfils have beaten Djokovic over the years so I do feel a bit sorry for Gael.

Youzhny once beat Djokovic twice in the same year.

 

[Hitman]

Of course he does or did, the guy played him close several times but blinked. And many times with Djokovic was in bad form, Monfils played even worse.

 

[thrust]

Thanks for the clarification. I thought he at least won a couple of their matches despite the 19-0 h2h.

I think they said, on Tennis Channel, that Gael won at least one match before they entered the main ATP Tour.

 

[Ronaldo]

Tried that with only 30 minutes of daylight left. N

He deserves 20, I agree.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Hopefully the next generation of French players will be a bit better..lol

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Unfortunately he didn't.

A bloody Futures match in 2004 if you want to stretch it that far

They're already way worse than the likes of Tsonga, Simon, Gasquet & Monfils.

Probably, yes.

For Gasquet and Ferrer it was definitely a matchups issue. But as someone has already pointed out earlier in the thread, players worse than Monfils have beaten Djokovic.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Let’s dunk on France.

Enjoy it while you still can, in before the oil giant Arabs with all their ££££ gobble up football as well, just as they've done with the golf.

[bobleenov1963]

would have, could have, should have.... You're what your records say you are, and he is 0-19 against Novak

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Hopefully the next generation of French players will be a bit better..lol

 

[StrongRule]

Monfils actually beat Federer after saving 5 matchpoints in Paris 2010. It's amazing how he could never get it done with Djokovic, despite having so many chances. Such a mug.
