Day 2 not over yet as Monfils takes the 3rd set 63 v Gaston, and I cant believe I'm typing this he actually looks fresher than 25yo Gaston at the moment
26 36 63
Gael on a roll and is leading 4-0 in the 4th set!

And Gael looked dead after 1 hour of tennis. Now he looks fresh. Typical Gael. He wins this in 5.

BTW,
This will be Monfils 17th 5 setter at RG, surpassing Wawrinka (16) for the outright most of any player at the event in the Open Era!

Monfils rushing too much now in critical moments as Gaston gets to 3:0 lead. He had a momentum on his side.

Bad luck to Gael he lost in the 5th set but as usual Gave it all his all losing in the 5th set to Gaston 0-6 ran out of puff in the 5th set and he did rush his shots
