Video - Monfils, the king of showmanship: the insane point that electrified Vienna against Schwartzman
Gaël Monfils, who will retire at the end of the 2026 season, will remain one of the greatest showmen in tennis history.
Throughout his career, La Monf has delivered spectacular points to spectators who came to watch him play. Like this crazy rally against Diego Schwartzman during the 2021 ATP 500 in Vienna.
The Frenchman first showcased his athletic qualities in defense, then stretched for a drop volley from his opponent. He ended up hitting the next shot by throwing his racket, and then attempted to unsettle Schwartzman.
A point concluded with smiles from both players. Ultimately, the Argentine would go on to win the match 7-6, 4-6, 6-2 in this second-round encounter.
