Roger Federer v Gael Monfils Epic Match _ Paris 2010 Extended Tennis Highlights

Spank you very much. Right on to the second serve. Very quickly snuffed out. In this sort of game, you haven't seen him put in all week. He hit us a good ball early on here, Monfils. It's got to be the longest service diameter of the week for Federer. Check this out. 186 kilometres an hour. Couldn't resist it, could he? Emulate to what Federer was able to do at the US Open this year. The Frenchman continues to impress on serve. Double figures as far as the aces are concerned for Federer. Yeah, that really did shoot through. Time to adjust there for Monfils. Beautiful one-strike tennis from Roger. Yeah, quality of the serve allows him to dictate that second ball. He's done well, I tell you what. The kind of shot you'd expect Monfils to play. Yeah, very strange shot selection from the master. I had a feeling that was coming. Yeah, that's looking the ball on on this occasion. Gives him the same treatment. A lot of returns back in play today. He doesn't seem to be timing it as he has been. From Federer here, wants to let it bounce. It's always going to shoot off the surface. Corner there did Monfils. And Federer was quick to pounce. Combinations there for Federer. Backhand really was the weapon. Much better returns in this breaker. Return. Can't take him with you. Well in. Beautiful injection of pace. 171 kilometers an hour. Just to make sure. He made up the ground there, Federer. No challenge. After a shaky start. Federer aside. A strange rally. Federer had a forehand during that point. Where he just didn't let go, did he? Yeah, it was almost like the ball bounced a little too close to him. Couldn't get the feet in the right position. But a piece of it. Federer wants to make sure. We're going to a tiebreaker. No, that's missed by a good margin, that one. But Monfils did really well there to soak up. Big shot from Federer. Execution from Monfils. There is leaking all over the place. Monfils. And a chance for the biggest win of his career.
