Monfils Takes On Diaz Acosta; Mensik & Michelsen Feature | Auckland 2025 Highlights Quarter-Finals

[@JohnGrendal]

Basaverryreddy. He actually drew djokovic his hero in round one at the Australian open. So excited for him. All that grinding last year and now he gets such an amazing opportunity.

[@al1976-v7m]

Looks like it could be a stern test!

[@mauricioventanas]

Im shocked how good Monfils is looking at age 38, guy won me 60$ on Stake with this win and it was not even close 😁 Do you guys think he has an actual chance in the Australian Open this year? He is looking so good

[@HockeyMan666]

its gonna be his last chance at 38 but lets be real he will be nowhere near, he won even get to the quarter finals. I have Casper ruud as a dark horse in the opens to win it all

[@jjjtalon]

he is not that good, ppl over hyping im now

[@fraubi4058]

Un grand merci au réalisateur qui prend un malin plaisir à nous montrer des spectateurs sans importance au lieu de nous montrer les poignées de main, du grand art...

[@emiledupont2974]

Imagine Monfils winning the Australian Open at 38 by beating Djokovic for the first time

[@Джокер-ш3с]

In another universe

[@docteurgillesalewina5669]

[@localpianoteacher]

did he ever got a semi final tho?

[@alexisberniard3922]

Sadly he will lose first round vs Mpestshi

[@ciputraaf]

Absolutely it would be the craziest story of tennis of the decade

[@Voltarensalbe]

It would be nice if you could show the handshake. I think that is more important than the reaction of the audience

[@sixtyforce778]

in the Adelaide videos it's the opposite - showing the handshakes but until and including the bag packing of the winner which is too long and not interesting at all. What is going on here?

[@luci156s]

I agree!

[@ParekhitB]

Damn, Gael is Monfilling all his opponents. Very patient, consistent performance. Hoping he reaches the finals.

[@pchr06]

When Lamonf is in good condition, his 20 years experience on ATP tour shows up 👏

[@mauricioventanas]

Most amazing considering he was almost out of the tournament in the first round. Great that he didn't let that happen.

[@brodaism]

Nishesh has other plans. Last week he took a set off Monfils. He might take 2 this time.

[@estebank4592]

The just don't show the shake of hands... Incredible

[@parthxchavda]

We are lucky to have LA MONF still at 38 playing like this...one of the last of the old guard. We must appreciate him while he is still playing!!

So good to see Gael in form n winning...back in a semi-finals. Great win for Basa n Borges

How underrated is Borges! stoked to see Mensik eat some humble pie after his attitude over the past 2 weeks.

Jakub Mensik vs Nuno Borges - the match was so close. It could have gone either way. The more composed and mentally stronger player won, but Jakub can come back stronger. Great match from both players.

[@real-lz1pd]

Nishesh is having an amazing run

[@Creees]

Mensik is a top talent but wow great win for Borges. i dont know if the orange neon racket helped but his forehand is a great looking forehand

[@antoinewaucquez94]

2 very first time semi-finalists on the ATP Tour. Hope Ninesh and Zizou can go all the way to the final!

[@mohit4u007]

[@zlomeny]

players: **shake hands** cameraman: let's zoom in on a random audience member

[@timebandit125]

I think Mensik in a couple of the matches when is not going his way, he hits out and gets unfocused and does not seem to have problems solved. need to work on that,

[@patrikmarflak6559]

On the other hand he can be grateful for leaving this tournament and getting to Melbourne earlier to prepare for the more important tournament. Although I don't think he wanted to lose, Borges played some amazing points at the end of the match.

Mensik’s handshake was better then the handshake last week

[@piper998877]

Are the people at 5:08 famous or related to Basaveryreddy? Rather than see the players handshake or hug (these two are great friends), we get 8 seconds of these two clapping?

[@brodaism]

They seem to spectators showing parents' emotions 😉

[@piper998877]

@brodaism they even did it after Bergs' win. Instead of the handshake, 8 seconds of audience clapping. For me, a match is fully completed with handshake view. It tells us a lot about how the players felt about the match and respect they have for each other.

[@patrikmarflak6559]

Half of the comments are about handshakes and the other half is wrong spelling of Basavareddy. Basaverryreddy Basaveryreddy Basadavareddy And the award goes to... Basaravadaddy lol! It's not an easy surname, but c'mon, give him some respect and pay attention to writing it correctly.

My humble observation: In a tie breaker situation who over takes the 2nd set, more often than not, takes the match

[@dannywhite9975]

Threw his racquet and hit a fan in the crowd I believe :/ didn't get a DQ tho

[@fwvw7056]

Basadavareddy seems like a perfect hitting partner in the opening round for Djokovic: can stay in the rally, crafty player but ultimately powerless against the game of Djokovic. And his official height (1.80m) seems a bit overstated, would guess he is 1.75m (not even comparing him to Michelsen but with the netband).

[@VARMOT123]

He is 5'11" . Michelsen is 6'4" . He has brutal redirecting power actually

[@ranost5205]

A lot of Asian players are thriving because of the heat. You notice that more commonly, Caucasian players struggle with the heat than other ethnicities.

How is Caballos Baena this deep in this (or any) atp tournament?? No Power, screamjng to get the ball to land at halfcourt almost every shot, doesn't even seem to be that good of a mover, playing deep from behind the baseline. Seems to be the most weaponless player inside the top 100 or top 200 even. What am I missing?

[@JohnyStrombolli]

Basaravadaddy plays like Novak

That's how he should play against Djokovic, instead of just returning the balls safely.

[@marcellence4272]

Man I get tired by looking at Caballes Baena matches

[@Creees]

top 200 in the world is top quality. i think there could be more atp 250s. especially in asia. korea doesnt even have an atp 250 nor does singapore nor does malaysia nor does thailand. yer i get theres european based players in europe but if you live in asia its easy to get to different countries. i think japan has 5 cities that can host atp 250s as well. for example the challenger last week in canberra had Fonseca, Dan Evans, Chris Eubanks just to name a few. even if there were more atp 250s just have the prizemoney smaller for first round and then make it more for progressing. This week there is two atp 250s as there was last week. Why not when its those annoying masters 1000 they could have atp 250s on at the same time. especially if you lost first round on the wednesday. just fly to play a tournament the following monday. 5 days turn around isnt unusual for an athlete certainly not a tennis player

[@RaphaelMalka]

Borgessss

[@VARMOT123]

still no nishesh's name in the title eh . shameful tennis tv

[@keshavsharma5406]

Monfils, Borges (with an impressive win over consensus future top-10 Mensik) , Bergs (thanks for taking out RCB and his atrocious grunts), and...Basavareddy?! What an unexpected, entertaining group of semifinalists. Thought for sure Basavareddy (#133 ranked at 19 y/o) would lose to #41 Michelsen, who's shown quite a bit of promise at 20, but the kid has some impressive tennis. Of course, he's American, but might end up being the best singles tennis player of Indian origin if he has another level to his game and the health to sustain it. Inspirational to at least 1.5 billion people, including this unathletic Indian man ;) Going to be very interesting to see how he stacks up against Monfils, who appears in late-career-best form over the past 3-4 months (having also taken out an admittedly jaded Alcaraz at Cincy). Nishesh is now up to #106, ahead of the far more heralded Joao Fonseca at #112. Let's gooooo!
