Asked by our friends onEurosport A few hours before the duel between Gaël Monfils and Taylor Fritz in the third round of the Australian Open (not at 3 o’clock this Saturday), Pier Gauthier, coach of the French player between 2006 and 2007, wanted to emphasize Gaël’s experience since his success .
“For him, like Richard Gasquet for example, there were a lot of expectations around him. That’s why even the way I’ve been answering you here is surprising: Gaël, he’s a guy who was top 10 in the world for a few years and I’m here to explain to you that we’re sorry. He’s still crazy. Everyone had high expectations for them. We don’t realize it. And there’s nothing known about it. We have a little bit of interest let’s enjoy him and the great player he is, so it wouldn’t be surprising if, consciously or not, it gave him more space, more freedom, and that helps him.
