Titled in Vienna last Sunday, Gaël Monfils made no secret that his immediate concern was to arrive in Vienna in the best conditions. We might also legitimately wonder if the legs and arms of the 37-year-old Frenchman would not be a little too stiff to continue effectively in Austria.
But that was without counting on the pleasure that Monfils felt on the court, especially with the series of victories. This probably allowed him to have a high-level match once morest Daniel Altmaier in the first round of the Vienna Open. If the opponent seemed ideal for Monfils as the German is clearly more comfortable on clay than on hard court, Monfils above all showed that he was in excellent shape. In two sets with identical appearances, he made the effort to break quickly.
Behind, he showed all the signs of a confident and self-assured player. Solid and diligent, he did not try to get the public to stand up for each of his winning shots. On the contrary, he was very pragmatic, seizing the slightest opportunity to finish quickly in order to spend the least time on the court. A sign that he intends to stay in Austria as long as possible.
