Gael Monfils is fighting for his comeback. After the Frenchman only won one match this season, coach Günter Bresnik parted ways a few days ago. In order to get some match practice before the French Open, the 36-year-old took a wildcard from the tournament organizers in Geneva.
However, nothing came of the big match practice for the crowd favorite, because "Lamonf" had to defeat Argentinian Pedro Cachin in three sets 6: 2, 3: 6 at the ATP World Tour 250 event in southern Switzerland , 4:6 bend. The audience on Center Court still got their money's worth - especially in set one, the Parisian hit some impressive shots - above all this backhand smash.
