Gael Monfils is efficient. 48 hours after his match won in five sets against the World No. 6 Tomas Berdych, the Guadeloupian delivered a four-set match to tame Ernests Gulbis.

But the party had started badly for the 81st ATP player who loses the first set 6/7, 5-7 in the tiebreak. Led 3-2 in the second set, the Monf clings and turned the tide to regain control of the Central. He enchains in the next game and concludes in tiebreak 7/6 [7-4]. With 7 breaks realized on the 11 obtained, the finalist of the tournament of Nice stuns the Latvian author of 69 unforced errors. The fourth round is folded 6/2 for a win in 3 sets to 1, that to say 6/7, 6/4, 7/6, 6/2 in 3h 14.

Invited to Porte d’Auteuil, Monfils will play the third round against the Spaniard Tommy Robredo.

Roger Federer continues to unwind. The Switzerland qualified for the third round after a win, 6/2, 6/1, 6/1, against the Indian Somdev Devvarman. He will face Julien Benneteau in the next round.
