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

[Sweet Pea 50]

It's between the ear's that counts most at the elite level at just about any sport.

That, and experience.

[El Fenomeno]

Monfils is more entertaining to watch than all 3 though.


Let's see any of them try this serving at 15 all and a break down:



As for being more athletic, it's hard to tell. I think he is arguably more agile than those 3 but his stamina is questionable, he always seems out on his feet midway through the 4th set in slams.

[BEDROOM BULLY]

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.

You know Murray was a weak ass 17-19 year old throwing up on the court and **** not being able to make 5 rounds etc.. look at him now.. he can go and go and go..

If these others showed half his attitude it would put them in a great position.. Murray is not just conditioning though.. he is a great player..you DON'T win a slam in this era if you don't + the 4 or 5? finals he made

Sorry but that's the ******ed American way of thinking.

Any random scrub that can jump, or run a 40 yard dash automatically equals an athletic god.

How about just have them play tennis?.

I didn't watch Murray when he was younger but he made me a fan when he played Federer at the AO finals.

When he plays aggressive, he can beat anyone in the world. Has a great return too. I just hate when he decides to stand 8ft behind the baseline and play like Wozniacki.

All those things would show pure athleticism. Nothing more.

I also said, as a tennis player, Monfils isn't better than them. Athleticism wise, I believe he is superior to them but playing the sport, they beat him hands down.

Based on pure speculation.

Facts as a tennis player suggest otherwise.
