La Monf Gael Monfils vs The Mountain Ben Shelton | UTS Los Angeles by Builder.ai Highlights

What do you get when you put two generations of athletic, cheeky tennis players on the same court, and remove all code of conduct?
A heated, jaw-dropping display of shot making trash talking, all wrapped up into a superb UTS match that goes down to sudden death!
Competing on Day 2 of UTS Los Angeles, Ben “The Mountain” Shelton executed a superb comeback under the lights on Saturday night, defeating Gael “La Monf” Monfils in sudden death to top Group B.
The Mountain had his chances in the opening two quarters, but a relaxed La Monf-who had already secured a spot in the Final 4-was there to whip some 20-year-old ass, and do it in style.
Racing out to a 2-0 quarter lead, Monfils won both of the opening quarters by a solitary point, 16-15 and 13-12. Just when it looked like the Los Angeles crowd would have seen the last of Ben Shelton, The Mountain found another gear, barrelling down first serves (despite having only one serve available in UTS) and whipping forehands into play around the net on a regular basis.
Winning the third and fourth quarters 17-14 and 18-14, Shelton took that momentum into sudden death and had the last laugh over a tired Monfils, powering home 2-0 when it counted.
Watch all the highlights!

Are you not entertained?!

[@m5msportsexplorer]

Great entertainment..

[@greyzone2603]

This court triggers me.

[@AS-js7kb]

This is for guys who can't handle the pressure of being a top player. Monfils, Kyrgyios, Brown, Bublik, etc.

[@tiebrkr4231]

La seule chose que sait faire Monfils : amuser la galerie. Triste de savoir qu’on ne le retiendra que sur ça.

[@lexigold8448]

Oh quand même! Il a été solide sur le tour depuis quinze ans, ils peuvent pas tous être no.1. Certes il a un peu de potentiel perdu mais il n'a rien à regretter de sa carrière.

[@jeanpoulain4652]

faire l'imbécile c'est le champion mais gagner des tournois c'est autre chose...

[@twittertwice]

please get rid of Boris KoeJoe as coach. He was just so irritating . He’s an actor, who loves tennis… nice! But he is also too Hollywwod.. You may need to rethink this coaching vibe. Most people do not know the coaches. Ben and Frances Re not paying attention to their coaches and Neither are we if we can help it!

[@Thetinyboi]

Huge Cringe. But Nick makes a good commentator

[@kylecurryyt]

What a fun event. I hope this catches on and we see much more of this kind of tennis. Not to replace regular tennis but as a break from the normal season.

[@MattSuddarth]

I think it could be part of the regular tour. Different formats for tournaments.

[@Johnmili4565]

@@MattSuddarththen points distribution would be weird and unfair

[@lexigold8448]

@@Johnmili4565 yeah this is a great point, it can't really be integrated into the ATP tour but it definitely should be a regular sort of thing, maybe even for players who are recovering or skipping tournaments for rest to be able to play a little more casually whilst entertaining people too.

[@jonas8993]

I usually don't like loud and flashy events, but, it's so refreshing, to have a very different atmosphere and entertainment for tennis. I don't think I would want it to replace the more traditional way but, it's definitely not as exciting most of the time

They are playing like if it was a Grand Slam final or something....it was more personal than a competitive match 😅

Wow this is an amazing event! I hope they come to Houston! Let's goooooo better than the regular tennis events, you can actually see the players personalities and how much fun they're having!

An event for not top players because they kept their focus but fun to watch

Man wish Carlito is here..

If Carlitos played this the coverage for this event would have been massive

Carlito would NEVER lower himself for a WWF event. He has dignity
