Gael Monfils v Tomas Martin Etcheverry Extended Highlights | Australian Open 2024 Second Round

[@k.alvarado6237]

Seeing my generation slowly coming to their end makes me appreciate The Big 3 and Serena for what they were able to accomplish past being 35+

PEDs

[@duaneholmes8935]

Great point. Some things don’t change much. Any sport remains 20 years tops and it’s quite sad to see people think otherwise. I would have thought that since he is so wealthy that once his kid came both him and his wife would know it’s time to call it quits. It’s all downhill from here. Bow out gracefully used to be an honorable mention 😏

[@TititoDeBologay]

​@@mskcrc Do prove it ! I'd be happy to learn. That generation was the First which was not on drugs, recreational for the most. The ones on enhancements, got caught.

Etcheverry taking care of all the grandads. Next grandad is a bit tougher though (Djokovic).

[@merthanozcan668]

Omg! This is the first time I've seen Etcheverry go so wild and crazy after a match 😂👏 Great footwork and early preparation, always trying to be on the offensive with his forehand, reminds me of Dimitrov and Delpo in respect to these

[@MrFoofarew]

Big Delpo vibes, looks like he just copied his forehand. Awesome to watch!

[@BrotherTree1]

Etcheverry is having a great tournament. A very clean run to the 3rd round. Too bad Novak awaits there because with a better draw, he could go deep into the 2nd week of a slam again. And he's due for an ATP title, he's too good not to win one.

[@aca8638]

Novak awaits but trust me nobody wants to face Etcheverry in the 3rd round not even Novak...

[@DantsSable]

Une défaite assez triste pour Monfils ! On aurait adoré voir un petit Djokovic vs Monfils ! En tout cas grosse perf' de Etcheverry ! Après Andy Murray, Gael Monfils, ça commence à être pas mal

[@keshavsharma5406]

Djokovic beating Etcheverry in this form is actually no given. Yes, Etcheverry has played 2 senior citizens in Murray and Monfils, but he has shown NO letting up, no mercy, no errors, great shotmaking and volley game. If Djokovic is still suffering from his cold/flu, it's very possible he falls to this guy -- I can easily see Etcheverry in the top 15 by year end. I consider him the best American man -- North or South, with the possible exception of the spectacularly aggravating but physically gifted Shelton.

[@cpt-r.federer5940]

just no error , Monfils was better man this match. Everyone cherred him 5 time more at the end.. but he lost all the important point

[@melo5133]

Etcheverry es argentino 🇦🇷

[@inversorargento2.040]

@@cpt-r.federer5940 that makes no sense. Btw, novak is the goat.

[@twit_t9668]

etcheverry plays like a robot, his stop start forehand swing limits his power & depth too much. Any top player creams him esp when he doesn't have the safety net of clay

[@inversorargento2.040]

[@DanielaLopez-ok2xb]

1° Argentina 2° Francia 😂 amo a Monflis pero ya está grande y no tiene la misma chispa que tenía sin embargo destaco su manera de seguir en el ranking. Amo más a Argentina y que este chico le haya ganado a él de una forma excepcional me encantó también

[@peterchedraoui1494]

Monfils is one of my heros, arguably one of the most gifted tennis players to do it. Just lacks concentration and focus. Well 37 isn’t young we’ve definitely seen the best of him 😕

[@JoseLCiclista]

Sadly wasted talent. Physically gifted but like you said lacks discipline

[@andreaho]

He's not most gifted one. He reached his limits for years, and his fans just couldn't accept that. They always have an illusion about his potential where there's actually nothing.

[@sneezeey]

​@@andreaho Well reaching world number 6 isn't half bad regardless of whether he 'could' have done more

[@volodymyrnekhoda7017]

That Gael Monfils lost this match is very sad, but his tennis is always a show. Unfortunately, age matters and speed is not the same, but it is still very interesting and meaningful tennis. I wish Gael Monfils new tournaments and new victories. Thanks to Gael Monfils for a beautiful intellectual game.

[@Chris-xc4rv]

I don't know about the intellectual part, but ill agree with the rest. Dude lost the first set and still playing around. At 1:50 watch that point, what is he doing? Why the obsession with entertaining the crowd and you're losing? Hes for sure in his final years, he needs to try to win and earn as much as he can.

[@Conservativelady]

I will miss Gael when he retires

[@Luis-un8do]

Tomas is pretty consistent, but I feel that he should be able to crack that ball so much more

[@lexigold8448]

He has such a stop-start motion, it limits his power a lot.

[@Luis-un8do]

@@lexigold8448 I agree, it could be much more fluid. He has to change that in order to compete with tougher competition. Because his motion isn’t going to help there

[@disagol]

Etcheverry reminds me of David Ferrer style of play

[@darioformol3299]

Exactly, me too.

lets go tommy, a shame he's facing Novak on the next round, he's having a good momentum rn

Si le roba un set a Djokovic ya puede estar contento. Nunca digas nunca...pero Djokovic es the final Boss.

[@muhammaddockrat267]

Great videos and recaps !!! Please stop posting the match winners in the thumbnails though😢

[@paulliu3282]

Did Monfils think this was a hitting session? All of his shots are down the middle or easy cross courts. What did he expect?

[@williamc4221]

Super solid grinding from Etcheverry.

[@javiert.592]

Monfils is a very nice good guy but I find his game too defensive

[@Chris-xc4rv]

You would think he would understand he's too old, and these guy are too consistent for that to be effective in today's game.

[@faustofalcondaporta115]

vamos retuuu! no paras de meter pelotas con esa vcore pro, los volves locos!

[@cpt-r.federer5940]

everybody that are hating monfils made 2 time more winners (42 vs 18) than tomas but he made too much UE in crucials points and lost the match (56/23). I as there at the end everybody cheered 10 times more than tomas. he is not done

[@jamesliggins891]

is the australian open channel ever going to stop spoiling/ruining the winners of the matches in the thumbnail? it's not that hard, it's 2024 and this is social 101. if this pops up on someone's recommended/home page before they get to watch the match, they'll be spoiled.

[@mathieupower9711]

Bravo quand-même, Gaël.

[@say2920]

Not at all surprised by this result. Monfils has been playing a losing battle for sometime now. But ao highlights need to stop giving away the winners in the cover picture. Do I need to know who won it before watching the video?

[@rociocanteros5]

Amazing Tomi👌

[@Dixel56]

For me Etcheverrys game is boring to watch. Very controlled with very little aggressions

[@imalwaysright]

[@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten]

​@@seasaltlemon8237Novak on his own is not the whole old guard, it's obvious that they're falling and Novak seems to be the only one still playing at a high level (Maybe Rafa can do something at RG).

[@Chris-xc4rv]

He's not an old guard , he consistently lost early and was too sporadic to be considered a guard. These other players want it more.

[@jonfreeman9682]

Monfils is one of those players who have Grand Slam potential but just can't seem to get there.

[@lotus630]

he has no control on his power he either pushes the ball with no pace or goes for broke with risk of errors no in between

[@b.u.dmusic9424]

Because he plays like a clown

[@Chris-xc4rv]

Had, those days are behind him. He never took it seriously when he was still young enough to make noise. It's too bad ,he had the raw tools, but not the mindset.

[@franciscobrignole5473]

It takes Etcheverry 10 easy shots coming to his forehand before he goes for an outright winner. I am an Argentine and he bores me to death.

[@BIBECHYOUTUification]

Well-done, Tomy! Now be prepared against Novak. Monfils looks bad , physically . Probably time for Monfils, Murray, Waw, Gasquest to retire…

You're dreaming now, and im not a Djokovic fan. Djokovic gonna straight set this dude. Murray and monfils cannot compare to what he'll face against that dude. But he held his seed, which is what he's supposed to do.

[@TheTlewis3074]

I will never understand why AO tells you who won the match before watching the vid. You just lost mine.
