Gael Monfils Hit a Smash So Hard Nobody Knew if it Was in or Out



After this acrobatic smash from Gael Monfils—how does he time this ball so well after flying through the air like that? Another question for another day—nobody seemed to know if it was in our out.

What’s better, the shot or the reaction of Monfils and Simon? The good friends take their time and have a laugh before continuing with their five-setter. In the end Simon would have the last laugh as he triumphed , 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(6), 2-6, 6-2, and will move on to face Tomas Berdych on Manic Monday.
