Leave it to Gael Monfils to convert match point with a 360-degree overhead smash! That’s how his U.S. Open second-round win over Marius Copil ended on Thursday night.
And the award for most dramatic match point reaction of the week goes to… 🤣@Gael_Monfils | #USOpen pic.twitter.com/36I9vCRTMg

Fortunately for everyone involved, Copil has always been one of the good guys on tour and didn’t feel like Monfils was showing him up. Everyone likes Copil and everyone likes Monfils, so naturally they are friends and there was a nice exchange at the net.
