For me tennis is a sport, you know? It's not a job, it's a sport.
Gael Monfils
It's not easy to recover from jet lag.
The dream is to win a Grand Slam and that is what I'm playing for and training for. It's tough, but I believe that maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to win one.
France is my home.
I play very tough tennis, you know.
I think when I dive on the court, I dive not for people. To be honest, I gonna hurt myself for people?... I dive because I want to win the point.
Basically every match I receive some racist comment, and you can cross some racist person.
God gave me such great abilities, and sometimes that's a strength and sometimes it's not a strength. It's just the way it is.
I think people, they love me because I play with my heart, I fight.
I'm just myself on the court.
It's always something special with me. You never know how and what I can do on the court. I think that's why the people like that, a little bit a mystery part of me.
People need to understand that if I dive, it's because I know I can dive.
Sometimes luck is on your side, and everything works.
I think I'm a guy always pumped up.
Any energy, I take it. Even if it's for me or not for me, I take it.
Grass is not natural for me, but I am getting better. I have to focus on not falling, not injuring myself. I cannot take off as fast as I want to and I have problems braking.
If you want to do big things, it's never easy.
There are so many tournaments when I started this way. I was so shy. I didn't really play well. And then all of a sudden I found the very strong, powerful Gael Monfils.
When I'm on the court, it's a blessing.
You have to push yourself.
When I fight for a cause and I know it, I fight for it. I'm not scared to say something. I think some tennis player, maybe they're a bit scared, whatever is the reason. Definitely, some athletes, they fight for big cause. They speak it loud. I think it's great. It's great for sport. It's great for life.
I'm just saying sometimes great to play smaller court, with the crowd very close. We can feel their energy, the passion, yeah, the love in it. I love it, to be honest. It's great.
Yeah, I just a lucky man.
I come from nothing.
I'm very blessed genetically, you know.
You know, when you make the show, honestly, it's to entertain, but it's to win. So what's the point to make the show and lose actually?
I'm not a sore loser.
I think I want to show fans what it is actually like to be an athlete. Tennis is a part of it, but there is also another job that people are not aware of, the media commitments we have, and I want them to understand this.
Like all designers, sometimes my mood can be very flashy, but sometimes it can be dark. Or happier. It all depends on my mood.
It's been a dream since I was young. I've been dreaming about winning a Slam.
Social media is a big part of our job.
PSG is the team I've always supported, since I was little.
I know that if I'm 100% mentally on, I'm tough to beat.
I try my best for everything. But if I don't feel happy, I don't do it.
Now that I get to be more consistent with the winning, it's tougher for some people to say that I'm just a showman.
I love tennis, but the main thing in my life, is life.
I try to do what I can do best.
I like longer clothes.
I like to have long shorts, not really high, but very long, you know, almost to my knee. I like when it's a bit baggy. I prefer that kind of style.
When I started to play tennis my mum told me to enjoy.
I love watches, the mechanism.
I've learned a bit about how you make a watch, actually, and it's something that I would explore maybe after my career.
I like to slide on a court, but when I slide on grass I never stop.
To be honest I never watch a tennis match. I watch basketball a lot, soccer, never tennis.
I love to talk with the umpire.
I'm an entertainer.
I play not just tennis but also football, basketball and also did judo.
I got into tennis because of my parents. They would play a little on the weekend and I liked it when I played.
I loved cars when I was younger, now not as much as I grew up a little bit. But I still enjoy driving.
I want to try and reach the final in a Masters 1000 and try to win one.
