Gael Monfils is through to the Moselle Open quarterfinals to the joys of many native French fans with a 7-6(2) 6-4 win over Kohlschreiber.
The French player continued playing well ever since finding his form during the North American swing taking down a savvy veteran in Kohlschreiber. Despite the result suggesting an easy win it was hard-fought in a match that last over 90 minutes. Both Monfils and Kohlschreiber played well early one thanks to some stellar serving.
The German faced 3 break points at 3-3 but ultimately saved them all to hold on. We ended up in a tiebreak where Monfils finally found a breakthrough winning it 7-2. A very close set but Monfils got the deserved win in the end as he was slightly the better player.
The Frenchman continued playing well early in the 2nd set breaking his opponent but the German would fight back to tie it up. After that, we saw good moments from both but Monfils was simply better. He had the crowd behind his back and it clearly proved pivotal in this match as the German faltered in pressure situation.
Monfils won the 2nd set with 6-4 to clinch the victory and move to the quarterfinal to the joys of the crowd. A very solid win for the Frenchman who is finally back to playing good tennis and smiling on the court after a very rough start to the year.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
