“Wawrinka, Cilic and Del Potro were stronger than us”

In a talk show produced between Gaël Monfils and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the two men discussed their failures in major tournaments and admitted that they had not been good enough to win them.

Although they carried the expectations of France for many years, Tsonga and Monfils were, along with Richard Gasquet and Gilles Simon, among the players who failed to achieve a Grand Slam when the Big Four experienced its rare periods of depression.

Stan Wawrinka, Marin Cilic and Juan Martin Del Potro are the three players who managed to win a Grand Slam when the Big Four was active on the circuit.

In this talk show visible on YouTube, Monfils admitted with Tsonga that he had not been able to reach the level of his peers: “I have no problem saying that these three (Wawrinka, Cilic, Del Potro ) were stronger than us.

They won their Grand Slams with legends of this sport.

Stan had an exceptional state of grace the years he won his Grand Slams. He played incredible Tennis.

Cilic, incredible tennis when he won (US Open 2014), he had that thing.

Del Potro, same, and what's more he was losing the US Open final before finally winning it. »
