2010s in Tennis: 3 most unorthodox ATP players of the decade

#1 Gael Monfils

Gael Monfils

How many times have you seen opponents stand still and look on in disbelief at an outrageous shot played off of Gael Monfils' racket from across the net? Many, many times.

One would have expected that Monfils' big bag of tricks would run out of new things at some point. And yet, outrageous things continue to happen whenever Monfils is on the court. The Frenchman has an endless list of the shot of the day/week/year to his credit and there seems to be no slowing down.

As we head into a new decade with emerging talents, Monfils remains the true showman that people look out for when in search of truly entertaining tennis. He not only makes the most unbelievable of shots to end surreal rallies but also effortlessly gets the crowd going wild.

Monfils is the most himself when he is out on a tennis court and maybe that's why people see right through him and enjoy watching him work his magic so much.

It is not clear at this point as to how long Monfils plans on extending his career for, but the time that he decides to hang up his tennis racket, whenever that is, he will leave behind a vibrant legacy as one of best showmen of tennis of all time.
