Preview of Gael Monfils 2010
So far on the year in 2010, Gael Monfils is 12-6. A similar place to where he left off in 2009, where he posted a 42-19 record on the year is being there for him by this. Monfils is an interesting player, as it seems that he possesses the talent to be amongst the game’s top players, but never has seemed to reach that level.
A top level serve has been with Monfils, reaching over 140 mph frequently. The ability to hit powerful offensive shots has been demonstrated by him, but he has been known as a defensive player for the majority of his career. Though he possesses this powerful game it seems that he prefers to wait for his opponents to make the mistakes in the match rather than trying to put them away. His athleticism is incredible and rivals the top players in the game.
To understand why Monfils has never been higher than the 9th ranked player in the world is difficult with all of these positive attributes. From the outside it appears that the mental toughness to succeed is lacked by Monfils when he is in difficult points in his betting on tennis matches.
To advance to the semifinals has been made possible by Monfils in two different events this year. In 2 other events he has also advanced to the quarterfinals. Despite these advancements to the late parts of tournaments Monfils is similar to some of the other 15-20th ranked players in the world because he lacks quality victories on the year.
The problem for Monfils is not talent. To see him play amongst the best is simply needed by the tennis betting fans, and they’ll know he has talent. The question is whether Monfils will be able to keep his mind focused and come through in those difficult moments during big matches.
