Gael Monfils was accused by commentators of 'tanking'
during his first-round match at the Western and Southern Open in
Cincinnati on Monday, with the 14th-seeded Frenchman losing to
Poland's Jerry Janowicz 6-4 7-5 in 75 minutes.
Monfils served so quickly in the second set the ball boys barely had
time to get into position after each point before the ball was back in
play.
Television commentators said at one stage they thought Monfils was
in a hurry because he had a tee time booked to play golf.
During one rally he turned his back on his opponent briefly, prompting
disbelief in the commentary box.
"To not give 100 percent and be so blatant about it, I think it's
disrespectful," two-times U.S. Open champion Tracy Austin said on
Tennis Channel.
"It looked like exhibition tennis. We've seen that way too many times
with him.
"With Gael it's so difficult to watch because you know his upside
ceiling could be so big but he just goes away and doesn't even try."
Despite his apparent indifference, Monfils actually had a set point in
the second set before succumbing.
Top 5 Wednesday 19 
C'mon Gael!!! ^_^
Isner is gonna be the man
We'll just have to see in the 3rd round when he plays against Berdych. (Fingers crossed.)
But I really hope isner is physically recovered
I have faith ^_^
Their H2H is 3 Berdych to 2 Bellucci.
Last time they met was 2011 in Madrid QF where Bellucci won 7/6 (2), 6/3.
Bellucci has been playing much better since, I think. I totally forgot about Thomaz. ^_^
Yeah he's had much better form than Berdych.
