Go Gael Go!!!!
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Yes, Yes, Yes! I told you all some good things were happening today.
Frenchman Gael Monfils took out Croatian Ivan Ljubicic to the tune of a 7-6(7/1), 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 win.
Gael now faces the probability of becoming the first Frenchman since Sebastien Grosjean in 2001 to reach the semi-finals of the French Open, the local crowd has been waiting 25 years for Yannick Noah's successor as a champion.
"It is fabulous, incredible, I am deeply moved," Monfils said in a courtside interview.
"What is coming next will also be beautiful."
"It was a good match," he said. "I'm not thinking about [reaching the quarter-finals]. As I always say, it's a victory.
"I have a very difficult match in two days, but for me it doesn't matter if it's a quarter-final or something else.
"It's just a big match and I might reach the semi-final."
