Gaël, on his own two feet?
Unfortunately, in every Gaël match, we are wary when we are a bettor. He suffers injuries and re-does them quite often. I'm thinking of his last match for example, his defeat against Cobolli in Montpellier. Will he be in good shape against the Canadian cartridge distributor?
I'll start by going over Gaël's controversy at the UTS when he wants to go to the Olympics eh. Everyone has their own choices. On the other hand, if you miss it, Gael was completely kicked out of UTS in Oslo 😅. I quote :"Yesterday, a heated exchange in the locker room between Gaël Monfils and the tournament supervisor, Stéphane Apostolou, resulted in a slight injury for the supervisor. UTS is fully convinced that there was no malice on Gaël's part , but given that an official was injured, no matter how minor the injury, we felt there was no alternative but to disqualify Gaël. Gaël accepted the disqualification and he and the supervisor separated on good terms."I don't know what happened, but Gaël thinking he's bullshit says a lot about his current mental stability. On the Shapo side, we have seen some good and some bad in recent days. He started really well in Montpellier and even inflicted a 6/1 on the future winner of the tournament (Alex Bublik), then we especially saw his finishing flaws as soon as a guy made him play the famous extra ball. As a sign of destiny, he will play Gaston 3 times in 3 tournaments, just to make him understand that he must play more intelligently. To play Gaël today, he had to beat the "pretty bad at the moment" Marterer, then Gaston who was apparently impacted by a left hip injury. Nothing fancy then, and the slowness of the conditions added to Gaël's quality of defense don't give me much confidence in the Canadian. But all this is IF Gaël is in good shape!
