00:32That's it
01:02Tennis ball gymnast
01:04At full strength, Gail Monfils
01:06I mean his defensive work this week has been sublime
01:09That was just too good for Bublik
01:15Looks a bit bothered
01:20Wasn't there though
01:22Round 4
01:25The beginning
01:33You know, remember we talked about how annoying journalists can be
01:39So can tennis players
01:41Tennis players are quite annoying as well
01:43Well very much I would say
01:45Oh good good, well I'm glad
01:47Me too
01:48Well done on that one, great chat once again
01:50Ciao
01:52Didn't seem to bother him too much
02:02Round 5
02:21It's an angler's party right now
02:24Round 6
02:43That's creeping in, that is
02:45Yes
02:52Well the New York crowd loved that one
02:56Electric speed
03:03It's show time
03:09Monfils squirted that ball a bit too much
03:16Again
03:18Let's go
03:2010, 7, 8
03:45Oh that's so good
03:48Great touch
04:01Monfils locked and loaded
04:05What a rally from Monfils
04:11Facing the pressure point against the bonus card
04:14That's it
04:27He made it
04:29That's going to be millimetres
04:31That is going to be so close
04:33And he needs the crowd
04:4410, 9, 8
04:51What a shot
04:53Lucky Monfils
04:55They liked it
04:58He is dialed in
05:00Such a great athlete
05:06I'd give up on the nerve topic entirely
05:10Well that was not a nervous warhead
05:12That was an absolute cracker
05:33Time
05:39Let's go
05:41Oh look at the reaction, look at the response
05:43From John Monfils
05:45And the racket is being demolished
05:481, 2, 3
05:51And we will head to the tennis back
05:53It's the first broken racket from Dublin in New York
05:57Who's going to get it?
06:01It's hanging by a thread
06:03Oh that's a good gift though
06:06That's why you sit courtside
06:08To see Gerard Monfils react like that
06:10To get a racket souvenir
06:23Oh that was a tricky pick up
06:25And it proved too much
06:27For the Buick enemy
06:29Gerard Monfils was one quarter down
06:31He's now 2-1
06:33Now he is 2-1
06:35And in the lead, one more
06:37And he is the New York champ
06:39He wants to hear it
06:41From this great city
06:431, 2, 3
06:591, 2, 3
07:01Alexander Dudley getting the crowd going
07:04That's for sure

07:20Here we go, push, push
07:25Stay alive and move us into sudden death
07:27Here we go everyone
