Monfils Takes On Basavareddy; Bergs Battles Borges | Auckland 2025 Semi-Final Highlights

[@ParekhitB]

LaMonf played once again very disciplined tennis. He did look exhausted though. I hope he regains his energy for the finals. Long time coming

[@onyx081]

He's always had issue with his stamina and endurance his entire career. It's just getting more obvious now that he's getting older. It seems like he can barely even get through two games anymore without looking exhausted. Whenever he starts playing around with his sneakers that's when you know he's starting to get tired.

[@KalmeshGurav-uj5ct]

I had Borges to win in a Stake punt and I ended up losing but its all good since I got to witness some amazing Tennis from Bergs, that was my favorite game from today by far, really close and amazing tennis.

[@HockeyMan666]

it was obvious borges would lose lol, bergs is a better player

[@turbochargersutututu]

LaMonf at 38 good lord! Well played by Basavreddy as well

he can still beat people literally half his age

Give a shout out to @Zizou Bergs, a player who Never Ever gives up. He almost lost the game in the first round of qualifier, now he is in the final, what a run he is having right now! Amazing performance!

[@RafCole]

Zizouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! As a fellow Belgian, hope he can clinch the title. Even though I also would be secretly very proud of Monfils to win a title at this stage in his career.

[@MrEverything7T]

tough for borges, 3 matches in a row he came from a set down and today he served to do it again, not to be for him but good fight, will be a fun final, monfils looking strong even at 38, seems that he's loving the 7-5 tiebreak score

[@Onanastic]

I like this Basavareddy kid

[@McFuckin]

He is boring, literally he doesn’t have any strong abilities and always unforced errors by backhands at crucial moments

[@gregorsamsa555]

He doesn't look like kid at all 🙃

[@real-lz1pd]

@@gregorsamsa555 he is 19 tho

[@Blorbifink]

I think he can carve out a career similar to De Minaur

[@Blitzkreig2]

I think he can consistently be top 75. He has a great feel for the game and is technically very sound but unfortunately has physical limitations that will make it impossible for him to be top 10 or consistently contend for grand slams. Joao Fonseca on the other hand looks like a future world number 1 multiple time grand slam champion.

[@infiernoinfierno9659]

When Monfils plays this kind of tennis he is one of my favorite players. This was a tough opponent with a not so typical game. I hope Monfils can hold on and win the championship.

So great to see Gael battling n coming up victorious...clearly he felt the strain of this match n I do hope he is re-energized for the finals. So proud of him n must say a good word for Basa, who has yet to reach his full potential n is well on his way❤ A great match between Bergs n Borges, which could have really gone either way, but in the end Bergs triumphed n Bravo to him in his first match at this level, altho quite honestly I don't want to see him win the finals, I'm rooting for Gael, who at 38 deserves this victory. But of course, the better player on the day will snatch the victory...n I fervently hope that will be Gael Monfila, one of the most talented exciting and wily players ever to grace a tennis court❤❤❤

Monfils' 35th ATP final. 12W-22L record. Hope he will make it 13-22. I've always wondered, since he looks so laid-back and relaxed, why is his record so poor? He's been very frustrating to watch for fans.

[@crypticcomputing604]

No power on Borges game. He's very good for intensive training.

[@onyx081]

These younger players like Basavareddy have the game but lack mental toughness and awareness. There's no way that he should have lost that match against Monfils. Monfils gets tired in *every* match after a only a few games, so all Basavareddy had to do was extend the rallies and move Monfils around to tire him out.

Dang, hoping for a Bassa win, but an all-French final is pretty cool too. Monf-Bassa was close, seemed like he'd taken Monf's legs out, but a couple big misses and good service by Monf made it a mountain too tall to climb. Onward and upward the ATP ranks! With Novak up next for Bassa, no fun to get B2B matchups vs ancient greats ;)
