Australian Open: after a close fight, Monfils surrenders against Shelton

The epic of Gaël Monfils ends with a smile, despite a withdrawal: the 38-year-old French veteran ended up throwing in the towel on Monday in the 4th set of an epic round of 16 against the American Ben Shelton (20th in the world) at the Australian Open. But Shelton broke in the next game before the Frenchman declined physically to the point of throwing in the towel shortly after losing the third set.
