Gael Monfils Wins the Montpellier Open


In the inaugural of the Montpellier Open, it is just fitting that the winner is also a Frenchman - Gael Monfils.  He wins his third ATP title by beating Ivan Ljubicic 6-2, 5-7, 6-1.  He was challenged throughout this tournament by John Isner and his compatriot, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, both giving him good competition.  It's good that he continues in his winning ways and I hope he really does better next year, since he's so  near the Top 10.  This was his path to the championship -

Finals - Ivan Ljubicic (CRO) (#17) 6-2, 5-7, 6-1
SFs - Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) (#13) 7-6, 2-6, 6-4
QFs - John Isner (USA)(#19) 3-6, 6-4, 6-4
2R - Steve Darcis (BEL) (#112) 6-4, 6-4
1R - BYE
