Monfils in doubt: "It's also important to recognize when things aren't going well".
Gaël Monfils isn't feeling very confident at the moment.
After a rather successful season on grass (semi-final in Mallorca and third round at Wimbledon), the Frenchman has fallen back into his old ways, losing his opening matches at the Olympic Games and in Montreal this week.
Clearly disappointed, 'La Monf' addressed his fans on social networks. Without filter, he explained: "We often share the moments when everything's going well, but it's also important to recognize when things aren't going well.
I spend a lot of time training, but at the moment, the sensations and confidence aren't really there.
It's not easy, but I'm going to keep working hard to get it back. We're not giving up.
