It is an understatement to say that Gaël Monfils did not particularly shine the last times he faced top players and measured himself against them in the tie-break. Over the last seven years, he had only managed to win two of the twelve decisive games played against members of the top 10. A misery, when this Saturday he found himself precisely at 6-6 in the third set of his third round. against Taylor Fritz, world No. 4. There was a set everywhere, we had been playing for 2h11 and the Frenchman, who held his own perfectly against the American (4-6, 7-5, 6-6), had not yet really gained the upper hand over this match in which he was far from being the favorite.
