Gael Monfils amazed as he defeated Phillipp Kohlschreiber

Frenchman Gael Monfils took game to German Phillipp Kohlschreiber in much the same way Kohlschreiber took it to Serbia's Novak Djokovic in the previous round.  Monfils left no stone unturned from game one. There was barely a shot from across the net that Monfils did not capitalize on as he defeated Kohlschreiber 6-0, 6-2.

Kohlschreiber initially appeared to be prepared for whatever Monfils would bring, unfortunately he obviously had no clue that Monfils would be bringing match play to the nth degree. Kohlschreiber has now suffered six consecutive defeats from Monfils. 

Monfils recently returned to the rankings in the top 20. With his current game, this should be a seriously impressive season.

Up next in the quarterfinals for the Frenchman is Austrian Dominic Thiem.

Frenchman Gael Monfils into the fourth round of the 2019 BNP Paribas Open

ATP Tour - Gael Monfils’ resurgence continued on Monday in Indian Wells, as the 18th-seeded Frenchman defeated Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-0, 6-3 to reach the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open.

The 32-year-old, who advanced to the semi-finals in his past three events, is now 14-3 in 2019. He captured his second ATP 500 trophy in February at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam.

Thanks to his early-season efforts, World No. 19 Monfils is back inside the Top 20 of the ATP Rankings for the first time since July 2017. He will face a stiff test in the next round against World No. 1 Novak Djokovic or German veteran Philipp Kohlschreiber.
