The variation of services, the main asset of Gaël Monfils at the Australian Open

Since the opening of the tournament in Melbourne and the confrontation against the compulsive server Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the first round (7-6 [7]6-3, 6-7 [6]6-7 [5]6-4), Mikael Tillström states the same capital rule, as the providential gateway to the small and great joys of Gaël Monfils in the southern land: the protection of the game. At 38 years old, as a veteran soldier and having returned from all the wars, the Frenchman carries out his work with quite remarkable application and efficiency. Saturday, it even went beyond, on the verge of perfection according to his coach. “It’s almost a perfect match in this area”noted Tillström with admiration.
