QUOTES BY Gael Monfils


I think I'm both lucky but also unlucky, because sometimes I miss so many matches.

People think that jumping or do trick shot is gifted. Yes, it's gifted but is a lot of work. I won't say I work on the trick shot, but it's like I think physically I'm one of the best.

I always ran very fast and jumped very high but when I was about thirteen it was more of a choice between football and tennis, and I went for tennis.

Everybody's talking a lot in my ear, so it's tough sometimes. I try to stay with my team in my bubble.

I'm a competitor so when I need to, I just fly.

Honestly, I keep believing in myself that I can win a Slam. I am definitely sure I can win one. It's just a matter of putting the pieces in the puzzle.

I've been around watch factories and had the chance to visit some factories.

People say, 'You slide too much.' I try to change a bit, just to see the difference, and it's very bad. The faster and easier thing is to slide. To me, it's a gift, it's natural. It may be different, but I'm me.

Asics shoes are known to be the best in the world and I am sure they will limit some of the injuries that I had before.
