The Gael MonClown Thread

[bezs]

He says his secret weapon is a 360 smash which he has never ever made. Hmm... how would that go?

Horrible accent.. and a clown.

 

[AM95]

monfils is enjoying himself out there. i kind of respect that.

on a side note: hes a pretty nice guy

 

[CCNM]

Monfils and Tsonga should play doubles together-that would be one big laugh fest. :lol:

 

[FedExpress 333]

lol yup. Monfils 360 smash followed by Tsongas 1hbh passing shot.

 

[Cindysphinx]

Bump!!

Everyone's favorite clown has made the finals of the Legg Mason.

I was there to watch his match against Dimitriov the other night. Before the match began, I told my friend my prediction that Gael would hit the deck three times during the match. Nope. He went down four times.

All of the falls had one thing in common: A super-long recovery period. He would fall. And lie there. And lie there. Then maybe roll over once. Then get to his feet and stagger over to the ball kid for a towel. The chair umpire didn't even bother to ask if he was OK.

If I knew that I was getting an alien egg for a trophy I might have tanked the last set.

 

[CCNM]

^Does that tournament still award that trophy? That is the ugliest thing ever!

was well schooled by Stepanek

 

[SLD76]

This right here is just amazing. In all the years I played tennis I dont ever recall having my foot caught in the netting whilst lying prone.

Amazing.

 

[bezs]

Was watching highlights of the match against Steps, he went to slide for a volley ,fell like a heap and ended up laying on the ground. Classic moment from him.

 

[timeisonmyside]

Anyone have a pic of that jumping overhead he made against Step's overhead yesterday? That was an epic shot from a great point, which he eventually lost of course.

today at the US open qualifyer tournament.

>my face when you don't like Monfils

 

[TiberiusGracchus]

Man this thread needs a bump.

Monfils stopped during two different rallies tonight, yet still won both points. This man is becoming one of my favorite athletes/comedians of all time.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

 

[SLD76]

bump for real.

this guy is just...amazing.

 

[Tshooter]

That was during the Dimitrov match. The guy is an awesome athlete. Tennis is lucky to have him.

 

[kingdaddy41788]

Look at how much air he gets!

I like Monfils but I don't like that he spends too much time trying to make highlight reels and plays too defensively

Quite contradictory, no?

Can you imagine him in a RG final?


:lol:

 

[_maxi]

You gotta love him. He's fresh and funny. I like his attitude.

In Kooyong against Roddick

 

[CCNM]

With the dreadlocks he looks like that character on the Simpsons with the curly green (or is it purple?) hair.

 

[bezs]

Can't find a clip but Monfils pulled off a party trick shot against Roddick at KooYoong and it came off and won him the point.

 

[Crisstti]

Yeah, he kinda does . I thought it was red hair...?, or maybe purple...

He does seem to have some heavy mood changes. When he played some exo tournament in Argentina in December, in a match with Baghdatis, they had quite a show going on (especially Monfils, of course) and it was really hilarious. Then there were was a doubtful line call against him and he was just so, so mad. Coudln't have been on a more sour mood for the rest of the match. I mean, it was just an exhibition. :?

+1. That's Sideshow Bob.

He even has the same kind of vacant stare at times. :lol:

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

All I know is that La Monf is quite shocked/taken aback/offended by something Simon said in this picture.

:lol:

 

[Shaolin]

^^Simon probably told him to stand close to the baseline and play aggressive.

Dudes aren't giving La Monf much space, could they get any closer to him.

Thanks for giving me a name sdont.

The resemblance really is uncanny now...

 

[beast of mallorca]

Shall we call him Sideshow Gael ?

Slideshow Gael would be better.
