Monte Carlo Masters Monfils
Tuesday, April 14, 2009

For the man who reached the semifinals of the French Open in 2008, you would never have known that Monfils can find comfort in playing on clay. He appeared to be totally ill at ease with the surface. Additionally, Monfils had both knees taped.
Monfils' opponent, Serb Janko Tipsarevic, appeared to be much more prepared and took Monfils to task. In little more than an hour Tipsarevic defeated Monfils 6-3, 6-1.
With regard to his bandaged knees, Monfils told reporters "No (I was not bothered by the bandages). I'm playing with it and I'm getting used to it,"
"They keep my knees very tight. I have pain when I take them off. In fact, my knees hurt when I climb the stairs."
Well, looks like you've got plenty of time to rest them now.
