I don't know what you're playing at!": The clash between Auger-Aliassime and Monfils at the 2023 Laver Cup
Between prolonged breaks and sharp remarks, the first day of the 2023 Laver Cup offered a moment of tension between Team Europe and Team World.
In Vancouver in 2023, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Gaël Monfils faced off for the Laver Cup.
The French veteran was defeated in two sets by the Canadian (6-4, 6-3), but the match was marked by an unexpected clash between the two men.
In the first set, Auger-Aliassime accused his opponent of not taking the match seriously: "He sits for 30 seconds (between points). I can do that too. I don't know what you're playing at (addressing Monfils)."
A few games later, Monfils expressed his frustration to his bench: "If I don't want to play a tournament, I don't. They called me saying the Laver Cup was nice, that I could play freely. I'm here to have fun.
