"My mind isn't much on tennis right now." Gaël Monfils quoted by Frédéric Bernes in l'Équipe. "I was hesitant about playing Australia. I had some physical niggles I had to fix really quickly ..."

Rumours of a possible marriage that didn't work out.

"It's not that at all. All I ask is, be careful about saying all sorts of things. I tell you honestly I have personal problems but I don't have to give details. It's tough when it's something that affects my family. I just found out I was supposed to get married. That's cool. Two years ago I found out I was bankrupt.

"I'm training a lot, but it's not good. They ask me to practise for four hours and then do two hours of physical training, I do it. But the ten minutes or more of basketball that do me good I'm not doing any more. The little flame isn't there.

"Hell, me playing a final here (against Simon)? ... That would be nuts. I'm light years away from that."
