Aus Open: Monfils Stuns Fritz To Reach Fourth Round
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard: Gael Monfils extended his remarkable start to his 22nd season on the ATP Tour with a thrilling 3-6, 7-5, 7-6(1), 6-4 upset over fourth seed Taylor Fritz at the Australian Open on Saturday.
The 38-year-old Frenchman, fresh off becoming the oldest man in nearly 50 years to win an ATP title in Auckland last week, fired 24 aces en route to his eighth consecutive victory.
Monfils showcased a clever mix of off-pace shots and sudden bursts of power, dazzling Fritz in key moments. He dominated the third-set tiebreak and clinched the decisive break at 4-all in the fourth set with a dipping backhand winner after luring Fritz to the net.
