  • Monfils is not as good an athlete as Murray, Nadal or Federer

    EDIT: Federer in title is supposed to say Djokovic, though prime Federer would be included in this..

    Switched from a thread in NSB.

    To NE,

    True that did contradict.

    Nadal, Murray and Djokovic are quicker/better movers than Monfils i would put money on it. All 3 have incredible defense, getting balls back over the net which no one else on the planet would get to (Federer past prime now but he was the same). they can do that because they are quicker, more agile and stronger (more core strength).

    The reason Monfils looks like the superior athlete is because he is always stretching and diving everywhere to make shots that the top 3 players dont need to stretch or dive for. Because they already got there using their superior athleticism.

    No dude. Monfils is a superior athlete to all of those guys. He isn't a better tennis player but is far superior in athleticism to them.

    Monfils' issue is that he stands 8 feet behind the baseline and has to do all that diving shyt to return the ball because the angles are wayyy too great when that far back. He doesn't have the mental ability to alter this either, so he will likely never win anything of significance.

    He faster than all of them. Can change direction faster than all of them. Even has more power than them. Doesn't make him a better player than them but physically he is gifted more than they are.

    Monfils is probably the only guy on tour who covers more ground per game than Ferrer and Nadal.

          ffs another one... Monfils is like a young Zab Judah or Prince Naz. Looks athletic because he is all over the place but in reality the top 3 pwn in pretty much every way.

            I mean come on Nadal is probably one of the quickest and most agile players of all time! I dont understand how there is a debate about this.

              You know it, sugar buns.

              I think we are seeing the two greatest to ever play the sport right now in Nadal and Feds.

              To be on the elite level, you have to be one hell of an athlete.

              We suck right now on the men's side.

                Monfils is nothing more than a circus act.

                And what sport do you like? Big meat-head steroid freaks charging into each other for no reason whilst you tank shots of jager and bump bare chests with your friends?

                Nothing **** about that at all...

                    No way. Monfils is extremely athletic if nothing else.

                    Have them run 100m. Monfils wins.
                    Test their vertical. Monfils wins.
                    Have them run a short shuddle. Monfils or Nadal would win.
                    Have them run 400m. Murray probably takes that.

                    But my point is. Monfils is easily top 3 athletic players if not #1.

                    Just like footy. Being the best athlete doesn't mean you're the best player.

                    He's my favorite player but what a waste of talent. I only rate 2 as a bigger waste of talent than him. Tsonga and Gasquet.
