#2 Monfils destroys a clock
Like it was mentioned earlier, Monfils took a special liking to the match clock during his first round match at the ongoing US Open and saw it as a landing pad rather than as a time-keeping device. His opponent was Gilles Muller of Luxembourg and again the Frenchman was cruising to a win.
When a smash from Muller went high over Monfils, the Frenchman displayed his athleticism and jumped high to meet the ball but ran out of court space, forcing him to land on the match clock.
The end result? The device came crashing down and narrowly missed Monfils’ leg. But it broke into smithereens but thankfully Monfils was unharmed.
