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.
