Ferrer is having a tough time.Anybody watching? Your opinions on the game please?

Question

Although the odds were on Ferrer,could he be tired from the two 5set matches he played all out against Hewitt and ...

(senior moment here,can't remember the name) ?

or is Monfils backed by the French crowd just too good for him?

Answer 1

Wow, France has a new hero.  Ferrer ran out of gas it seems.  But kudos to the young Monfils, it seems he's finally living up to all the hype about him since he first came on the tour a couple years ago.  France must be going wild, first Tsonga reaching the Australian Open final, and now Monfils into the semis of Roland Garros?  Outstanding.

Answer 2

jus started watching 30minutes ago. ive never heard of this monfils before and hes really owning up on ferrer...probly the crowd or he probly is too good. has a monster serve that monfils  has

Answer 3

yea and then monfils will come up against federer and become the pu**y that he really is. Well doesn't really matter since Ferrer would have been not much different anyway's. Wish Step had defeated Ferrer in the 4th round.

Answer 4

I'm sure the French crowd obviously wants Monfils to win, because he's French. I also want him to win because I'm learning French in school. Only 2 more points for Monfils to win, right now!

Answer 5

yea, you're right. it's without a doubt the two 5 setter matches he had to play in round 3 (Hewitt) and round 4 (Stepanek) that have emptied his "batteries".

in the know of this Monfils does exactly the right - he does keep the ball long in the game and make Ferrer run run run, taking no risky shots. the best means to take a fatigue opponent down.

Answer 6

Yes I imagine it is fatigue after two gruelling 5-set matches. The other player was Stephanek.

Monfils is just so physically fit and Ferrer is basically beating himself-Similar to Dementieva in your other question.

Answer 7

ferrer lost in 4 sets to monfils...tough luck
