The most entertaining and surreal thing about this is watching Johnny Mac keep his composure during the whole exchange.
He’s 70, it comes with age. Been there done that! Besides much of it was Felix and Gael speaking in French.
Johny Mac doesn't know French luckily 😂😂
Bro is like Kreese from Cobra Kai
The exchange was mostly in French. McEnroe didn't understand a word 🙂
@@twittertwicehe's 65
McEnroe be like "I wish I could be part of this argument but goddamn I don’t speak French! 😡"
😂😂
😂😂😂😂
My thots exactly…goddam Johnny Mac must b thinking how do I say “are you serious” in francais
Sheltons face watching the argument. 😂 Frances was just laughing.
Yep lol. Sometimes all you can do is laugh. I love how both sides defused it by telling each player to focus and not look or talk to the other. They can hash it out in the locker room later.
FAA taking things a bit too serious. Gael always plays to the crowd even during slams. He needs to lighten up a bit. @@sportsview247
Right ; Shelton & Frances 😊
Francis is always smiling. This guy is probably the life of any party he goes to. Seems like a super nice guy.
Tennis needs personalities like Shelton
As a french speaker who understood the whole exchange...they were both right. An honest misunderstanding...I don't think Gael and Felix were briefed the same way about the event.
Agreed but at the same time Gael should know this is still a competition and teams wanna win...I can't imagine he's never seen the Laver Cup before...
@@FiggyStardustOr seen the matches preceding his.
I disagree. I do not think Gael is as sophisticated as people assume. I think he misunderstood, that while Laver is relaxed, meaning Team members can be supportive, it does not mean when on court you do not have to comport yourself in a serious manner. As Felix told him, this is NOT an exhibtion match. Why would who talk to Felix tell him different than they told every other participant. This is about what Gael heard, not what was said?.
Ok, so if understand correctly, was it that Monfils gave the impression he wasn't trying hard, or just clowning all around?? I did see Monfils try one of those trick serves, which I thought was kind of odd. But I didn't see the match, it was something he did while I happened to surf the channel. But I wouldn't be surprised, Monfils problem is that he often doesn't take matches seriously enough for him to care much about its outcome. But still, it's like he should know that even though it's not a ATP tournament, one is still expected to treat it as a competition.
Clownfils is an exhibitionist.
Why would he not treat the Laver Cup like it was an exhibition?
This is surprising because they're two of the nicer and more likeable guys on tour. But shit does happen sometimes.
McEnroe just stood arms folded just doesn't give a fuck what a legend
well the whole team combine got 0 gs title, John got 7
John wants more of this at the top level, gives tennis excitement
This proves that back in his prime McEnroe was ready for all the smoke
He has no idea what they're saying
@jc-vu4gn - 7 is good. But nowhere near the greats like: Novak, Nadal, and Federer. Those are the G.O.A.T.S.
Ben Sheltons antics were the most embarrassing of them all...
This is what you get when an event is not clear on what it wants to be. The absence of the top 10 players from Europe shows that the prestige factor is low. Outside of those players, line ups where leaning towards more ‘entertainment’ also in early editions (Sock being there). Monfils recognizes that if prestige was the main thing he would not be invited.
Even the umpire was not clear on whether he should rule in a competitive or entertainment manner.
Early days
At 2:01, Gael told Felix « I can quit if you want » 😅
😂😂
Such a grown up response like going and sitting in the audience.🥴
Gael and Felix should make it into a friendly rivalry, fans of both guys
It isnt rivalry. Monfils did not understand that he couldnt do his silly crap at Laver Cup. He misunderstood the words fun and relaxed to mean full on exhibition behavior and it did not.
FAA: I can play games too!
Monfils: Kid i'm just trying to relax and enjoy the match!
Monfils: Nobody told me this is a serious competition to be lost or won in three days? you believe that?
'I can play games too' lol Felix with the French too. Canadians are nice people.
In 2023 it seems he can't though ;)
probably the most exciting part this on year laver cup
Nobody can clown around like Monfils. He’s the master jester .🤡
Tiafoe ain't far behind.
Foe can play.
@@dmdasoriginal2714 When Tiafoe stays focused which he was against Hurkacz.
@@dmdasoriginal2714 I doubt Tiafoe will touch any of Monfils numbers so let’s not act like Monfils “couldn’t play”. (11 titles, career high ranking 6, 534 ATP wins)
Perhaps that's why Monfils has never won any majors and I'm not sure ever won a 1000 level either. I love his athleticism, but never had the focus...he just wanted to entertain... what do you guys think?
Shelton is so toxic. He doesn't even know Monfils and accuses him of playing games. You can clearly see he wasn't. He thought it was an exhibition. And let's be honest, it is. They don't get points and don't even have their coaches. Why do you think the Top Euro men opted to skip?
Shelton? What did he do? Felix was involved with Monfils and mentioned playing games, not Shelton.
@@positivelastaction3957 listen towards the end, he's talking to FAA. You can tell FAA was feeling bad because he saw Monfils' reaction but Shelton is in his ear fueling him with presumptions about Monfils.
He may be a future great player but 'to cocky'.
@@joking2512 I did not catch that. Yeah, Shelton is pretty immature. He's talented so hopefully as he gets older, he'll wise up a bit.
I always thought it was an exhibition too!
Francis in the back smiling bot knowing if they're actually beefing or not 😭
No, he knew. He was smiling bc Felix took their advice and said something to the ref…. all of that was in English!
@@twittertwice right but FAA didn't seem happy during the convos with monfils
We Canucks take fair play seriously.
We certainly do, eh!
The organizer should make this clear. Is the Laver Cup an exhibition friendly tournament or is it a regular tournament like any other ATP ones. Yes, there are still rules and regulations, but if you are telling people it is an exhibition tournament, don't blame the players for not taking it seriously.
It's not supposed to be an exhibition, you are expected to treat it as a competition. I don't even follow the laver cup, but even I know that much😂 so Monfils maybe didn't get the meaning in the translation. Next time they need to also state the purpose in French ha ha
@@creativestudio101 No ATP points, players invited not on their results (FAA would not be there otherwise), nah this is definitely an exhibition. Gaël just comes from UTS, he thought the whole US North American tour ends up by a big exhibition as the north American business knows how to do ;)
You could tell the chair umpire was pretty loose until FAA got serious and asked him what rules are we playing under.
@@iansmirna5183 hmmm... I could be wrong, but from all the marketing and from Federer's own remarks, I understood it was supposed to be a serious competitive affair, regardless it not being a standard ATP event
@@creativestudio101 As you said, marketing wise they don't want to sell it as an exhibition. In the facts, how do you call a tournament where people enter on invitation against big cash and despite disastrous results for some of them, where no ATP points are allowed and where top ranked players prefer to not go?
In fact FAA take it so seriously and Monfils not enough because people said him, join this tourment it's cool you are free.
Tell me who else on either team have you seen that acted like Gael? No one. They tell everyone they same thing. Gael misunderstood what was said! its obvious!
I feel for Monfils, he really though it waa exhibition, that's his 1stvtime playing at LC!😊 FAA made too big of a deal! And what does Shelton knows about it? He is here 1st time too, gotta have some respect for an older player
Wrong here. Why has nobody taken same tact as Gael. Be cause Gael misinterpreted what was said. He misconstruted, relaxed and have fun. Ben Shelton was in it because Gael used his strong responses while playing to mean the same as Gael going to sit in the crowd. It doesn’t but Gael brought Ben into it, so Ben spoke up.
Shelton needs to grow up and stop the college mentality.
FAA was under pressure to win front of home crowed and reacted poorly to something that was done by a player whom is loved by all on the tour for being a great entertainer and funny guy. It created unneccery tension.
Don't be fooled by Monfils, he's a great entertainer but also plays massive head games.
Another dude that didn't watch the game and commenting
@@karlito_ln7091 Who, me?
FAA was on a losing streak and he wanted to win so much.
@@clementchan2439 Wouldn't you?
Here's what happened. Monfils wanted to have fun and play some tennis. Felix got all serious thinking the event was by the book. Monfils being diplomatic said I'm sorry I hurt you, next time I stay home and watch old Burhami videos when having fun playing tennis was allowed and encouraged
He asked the ref it was by the book or an exhibition. If the ref would have said it's an exhibition then he would have been fine with it. The ref says they are using ATP rules, but that's obviously BS, so why not make it clear what this is?
Bull. Show me the last four years where anyone playing went and sat in the crowd or made his opponent wait while he talked to the crowd? All anyone has to do is understand Roger put Laver together… Roger does not behave like Monfils and would never want any participant to act like that. You are trying to say Felix doesnt have a sense of humor. yet we saw it playing with Ben. Monfils is a good guy, but his idea of what was acceptable is skewed in this instance. Did you see Caspers face when he did that Monfils high jump to hit a ball. No one likes that in the middle of playing a game.
Watch Ben Shelton gives a great pep talk to Felix after the exchange at the end of the video. Impressive young man with lots of team tennis experience in collegiate tennis.
How dare him to call exhibition tournament an exsibition tournament?
A Tournament where you exhibit your skill with a winner and loser at the end of three days. Call it what you will. Have your s__t together on the court.
Personally I don’t get why people are hating on Shelton in this one. It looks like Monfils was pointing at him and saying something about him and Shelton was looking confused more than anything. Also, the advice he was giving FAA in the end is actually mature in my opinion: don’t focus on Monfils and focus on yourself essentially.
I get that Shelton is acting more cocky for an upstart but damn, he’s young and grooving, cut him some slack and let him be him. We’ll see in the coming years how he matures or doesn’t, both tennis and personality - judge him then.
Shelton has become the new lightning rod for racist tennis fans. They hate that he's young, talented, charismatic, attractive, & black. They don't want him to be a star & see him as a threat to their white favs. Same ol' story, different decade.
Odd but this often happens when French try to translate behavior. Monfils tries to compare his behavior as same as Ben’s dialed in Gesture. Monfils really believes there is no dif in him sitting in crowd and Ben using Dialed in gesture o
when he’s won his match. It’s a miscalculation on monfils part.
Were you defending Djokovic like this at his twenties when he had more rights to be cocky with a GS under his belt? 😂 double standards at its best
@@minguyen2589 Exactly. Preach!
I hate shelton
FAA is right here. Even if it isnt a real tournament meaning you dont get any ATP points from it, they still go by ATP rules. Monfils just cant be sitting and taking 45s breaks in beetwen points.
(edit: ok chill FAA couldve apperently been more chill about it)
If it was a one off and done as a bit of humour I won't be too harsh on him but yea it does affect the rhythm of the game and give the impression he's not taking it seriously.
Felix took it too far… Gael was having fun and being himself…Felix was desperate for a win and just created drama for nothing…
It’s not like Gael did so many times, was one off and no more than 20s
@@MrBruster78 as I said in another post if it's a one off then ok but I don't think he's giving the Laver Cup the respect it deserves. He was angry and slurred out it's an exhibition to his teammates. I'm not saying FAA was a saint either.
So here's my view on it. Felix maybe could have taken it in a more humorous light. Monfils should not have called Laver Cup an exhibition that's disrespectful.
@@MrBruster78 Absolutely right!
Shelton: note it, note it, that's how I gonna do against Djoker next time
Tiafore: just chill bro
watch Shelton trying to instigate and enflame instead of resolve. He's really become a punk. He wasn't like this in the Challengers. He's too immature to be in Lavar Cup.
He's still a kid calm down dad.
Telling felix to stick to his business is instigating? To ignore him? To not look at him? Calm down clown
He needs to shut up and respect the veteran players.
He was actually giving Felix good advice to just ignore the stuff Gael was doing and focus on his game
he doesn't know french, if it was anybody else that don't know what FAA or monfils were saying, I'll tell him to just ignore him too.
you guys need to give some of these young guns some air.. jesus. just sit back and watch the fireworks
Johnny McEnroe just watched em talk it out as he touched his chin 🤣🤣
What 'war' of words are we witnessing. It seemed like a very pleasant conversation 😅
This is not right. The Ump did not do what he was supposed to do
Team Europe loves celebrating and winning the Laver Cup almost every year.... but when Team World starts winning suddenly they are "taking it too seriously" 😂
Thank you. Preach!
you want us to bring Djokovic, Alcaraz and Medvedev or even Sinner for all I care? y'all non Europeans are being too cocky lol.
@@redennah1467 If, If, If... doesn't exist.
@@dummythiccems Thats not if , if , if . Those are the 4 best players in the world and on hard courts , In fact 9 of the top 10 players in the world are from Europe .
If you bring the best European players the team ,, world ,, would get smoked .
Thats like saying Novak wasn't the big favorite and likely to win the last year's AO and USO because of some stupid mandate , look at this year what he did . He won both without much difficulty , saying if , if , if is stupid in that context . That would be the same if you banned Nadal at the FO .
If you look all the way back from Wimbledon 2003 when Federer won his first slam , only 3 players outside of Europe won 3 slams in the last 20.5 years , 81 grand slams held ( 2020 Wimbledon was canceled due to Covid ) . Give the best European players a lot of $$$ to come here and team world will get demolished and you know it , you can pretend that isn't so by quoting Nadal's if , if , if but lets be honest here , team world would get obliterated .
Djokovic, Alcaraz, Sinner, Tsitsipas, Rune, Zverev and hell even Medvedev are missing on our team. You think you'd have a chance if they were there?
See Ben’s reaction…hahahahah😂
Can we have subtitles for the French part please 😆
I couldn't really hear properly above the noise plus my French ' s gone down the drain.
Félix was saying that he wants to play seriously as Gaël was messing about and being fussy. That's basically it
Gael was telling Felix that the people that invited him to the tourney told him it would be fun and a show for the fans and Felix was like ok but I'm here to play a competition and win type of thing...
was very distorted anyways, it was hard to understand a good part of it
don't waste your time. it's not worth it
FYI FAA it’s not that serious relax bro! Gael is a legend and should be treated as such. If he is there to have fun please let him have fun. 😂
definitely monfils trying to get into FAa's head a little bit there
At last, Felix gets some attention 😂
And Whatta ya know they are playing again today in Doubles. 😅 This should be FUN.😊🎉
Funniest thing is McEnroe standing there saying nothing. He used to love controversy!
Didn’t sound like the umpire knew 100% how to answer Felix. Wth. Do they adhere to ATP tour rules or not?
Funny how Johnny Mac didn’t get involved. Maybe he liked the player confrontation drama.
Stress reliever 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Felix needs to relax.
So basically just a misinterpratation of the rules over the time limit by the umpire. Completely avoidable and unnecessary, both players are right.
Monfils was told it was a friendly competition that he could yake his time, since he doesnt have the pipes as b4.
FAA asked the umpire if it was like an atp match or an exhibition, umpire yells him iys the same rules as an atp match, so then a 25 second time limit on serve...
Laver Cup is a bit of a farce that the players contributed to with their (childish) antics. Tennis should focus on the Davis Cup and ditch the Laver Cup which means very little.
Shelton and his father are so annoyingly American with all that ‘yeah yeah’. Just the stereotypical loud American who has to make their presence known. I liked him at first but I’m starting to dislike him more and more. He’s acted no better at the Laver Cup, he seems like a brat. His mocking of Monfils during his exchange with Felix was embarrassing, the boy is immature.
I agree. Young folks are so disrespectful. I think Sheldon rubbing of on others...unnessarily!
This is Vancouver....if a hockey fight breaks out ...no problem
lmao
Great to see JM BACK RECOVERED
1:17 - can someone please smack Shelton?
LOL....
So this is what an implosion looks like.
This is what happens when the players think they're bigger than tennis..Team Félix
Gael is beyond a class act and can do no wrong in my book.
Lol Shelton...
If Felix plays with this anger and intensity in tournaments that count ATP points he might get back into the top 10. Where was this intensity when he played Nadal for high stakes and his coach, uncle Tony decided to skip the match?
What a sham of an event.
if he asks for trouble, the blue team has Rublev
I worry about the future of the Laver cup. It was basically a money making enterprise for Roger Federer, with a confused format that has been underlined with this situation - it seems more like team tennis in the 70s than the regular tour. The line up this year has also been very second rate.
Yeah the big 3 did a lot of work to endorse the Laver Cup. In 2017 it was Federer and Nadal insisting that everyone take it seriously and all, and top players showed up for the opportunity to play on their team. Also Jack Sock and Nick Kyrgios’s impact cannot be understated; they took this competition extremely seriously and helped set the tone while dominating doubles matches. 2017-2019 was peak Laver Cup.
Now with Federer retired, Nadal and Djokovic getting older and less likely to play this, people just have less of a reason to play. We probably won’t see Alcaraz any time soon unless Federer begs him to come. It’s after the US Open where every top player is exhausted.
It’s a great format, but I think Federer needs to put in effort if he wants to keep the reputation alive. Call up guys like Alcaraz, Kyrgios, Medvedev, and the coaches will do the rest with keeping them serious and on-task. Make sure the culture doesn’t shift. Maybe have retired players show up; big 4 can be near the players or offer coaching, Sock could jump on for doubles.
"I worry about the future of the Laver cup"
I don't worry at all cause I've never cared about team events in tennis.
"It was basically a money making enterprise for Roger Federer"
Right on point!.
Totally disagree. The format was not confused. Monfils was not a good ad on… he showboats and presumed once asked to participate that is why he was asked. These were first rate players. This has been a rough year for tennis players everbody has been injured. The line up will always depend on whos health and wants to play. Could care less if Roger is making money with Tennis. Black Players are not second rate… nor are players in top 20 players. Don’t know who Felix hasnt beaten at least once. These guys are all good players.
Is it Europe vs World or North Africa vs South Africa?
Lol maybe Felix should be more concerned with winning matches than trying to police his opponent's behavior. Dude's 2023 season has been a joke
WOW 😮 I am stunned that Monfils would act this way or be involved in this kind of thing. He's usually a chilled guy.
What do you mean? He was having fun until FAA made it confrontational.
@@joking2512 they were both confrontational. He went on to call the Laver Cup an exhibition which means he's not taking it seriously. Anyway it's over now let's just hope there's never a repeat of that... it could have got much uglier.
@@sportsview247 it is an exhibition...
@@sportsview247 calling it an exhibition wasn't an attack. It's an assumption based on what they told Monfils. If you think that's being confrontational, you're looking for drama.
@@joking2512 Drama? You sound like the drama queen here. Just cool down ok. I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about how he kept going over to FAA. The exhibition slur was only said to his team and is the real reason he sat between points. Anyway you seem to be misinterpreting what I say.... I'm being objective.
And then Gael with the passive aggressive underhand serve right after the first discussion. Come on.
Felix should be more worried about actually playing well.
Monfils behaved like an idiot. He pretended to play like exhibition match and have fun bc he knew he would lose anyway so he had some excuses to keep his face in front of players and audience. None of players have played Laver cup as exhibition matches.
I agree. The previous players of Laver have never thought of it as an exhibition.
The top players have all given this a swerve. Davis Cup is still top.
@@ghostofgerulaitisThe players that count aren't there. None of top 5. Compare to last year.
@@ghostofgerulaitis Don't forget Agassi and Sampras are also retired, so they can't do it either lol. Also, it's nothing to do with having already done it. The first 3 spots are supposed to be filled by the highest ranked players in the world, quote "Three of the six players qualify based on their ATP singles ranking". That would be Djokovic, Alcaraz, Medvedev.
@@ghostofgerulaitis Davis Cup used to be bigger, but Piqué’s new format has made it nowhere near as popular.
@@ghostofgerulaitis No top 5 playing, and not a single player who has won a grand slam singles title. It's an exhibition event, with fake captains (Borg and McEnroe don't actually do anything), but if you enjoy it then good luck to you. Nothing more for me to say.
Davis Cup is used to qualify for the Olympics. Without those added stakes, they're the same type of event fostering team-based international tennis without the pressure of ranking points.
What a shame...u dont see this in badminton, squash or other sports.
This is why despite his incredible physical talent, FAA can’t get to the top, he gets distracted way too easily, even in a friendly exhibition
Thank you!
Felix who never says anything gets too distracted? Felix who was in the top 10 for however long. The diference between #6 and number #1 is not one annoyance a year as comoared ejth medvedev, rublev or tsitsipas who complain far more. This comment makes zero sense.
I love both guys! Great guys, great players! But explain to me what Shelton has done on tour yet to be giving advice to an older player?🤔
Oh comeon. Judge his words, not age.
@@rohitbalakrishnan5004 Well said..!! Ben was a cool dude.
Lol u guys find anything to hate on Shelton for
He’s being a good teammate. You don’t have to older than someone to give advice. Have you never learned anything from someone younger than?
Shelton is from the generation of knowing everything without have done much really BUT .....
Wow, this time World Team shows lots of class. Bravo Felix! Bravo Ben! Bravo all team!! Young and wise and cold blood professionals at work!🤩
How nasty you must be to get into an argument with Gael Monfils, the nicest guy in the tour. Tennis will lose a great player and better person in a few years, 37 year old monflis just wanted to have fund and clear the situation and Felix is raging about it... I hope for Felix he learns a lesson and to enjoy his moment
Well that was the nicest way to be nasty then lol.
Felix : I can play games, too
Also Flex : acting so serious and speaking French, good job Flex
Felix speaks French because French is his first language. He is French Canadian. His Dad hails from an African country whose first language is French, and Mom is French Canadian. Canada has 2 official languages French and English.
how do you think of saying this 😂
We love you Ben but relax my friend.
The coaching in laver cup is way overboard. Tennis is not a sport where you have ppl around you telling you what to do. I mean it’s ok for a quick pointer, but this coaching seems over the top
My French isn't good enough to decipher what they were saying mais clairement ni Felix ni Monfils sont pas heureux.
Gael is the man. Total Peacemaker.
Gael is a man/child and proved it many times. He is also a nice guy and because of that, I believe his behavior was an honest mistake.
At moments like these, it is so nice to be a French native speaker 🤪 don’t worry guy, it was just a misunderstanding, they were not briefed the same way about the event. They love each other.
Félix is on fire for…an exhibition game, come on, what about the rest of year 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 while Gaël came for the entertainment part.
I suspect they were briefed the same way. There have been four years of Laver Cup ro watch. The difference is how Some French can misconstue the use of “have fun” and” relaxed atmosphere”. Why would anyone change the way they explain the competition to one participant? Nobody else has donw what Monfils did.They are there for three days to win an important competition. Why invite someone to be silly during the competition?
@@twittertwice very important competition 👀👀?
How many ATP points winners get from this competition? NONE😅
If this was a serious tournament, why have Monfils (world no. 142) there? I'm sure he knew there were many higher-ranked players they could have asked, so assumed it wasn't that serious. And then on the other side of the net you have FAA treating it like the Wimbledon final.
Ah France vs Quebec drama I luv it
Gae monfils is a great competitor
That's a spectacle..
staged.
Just a matter of time before the laver cup disintegrates as an event.
Both ridiculous. And the line "I have a kid now" sounds to me like "I am a mother" from some years back. So what? Are you on a pedestal now?
No it just means that he doesn't have time for this kind of bs argument. Being a parent helps you prioritize mate ;)
He was basically saying if I knew this was gonna be drama, I could have stayed home with my family.
So having a kid automatically all of a sudden makes you a more sensible, logical person?? Like Serena saying... "I'm a mother now!" So all of a sudden she's aware and will fight for rights of women... as if any other childless person simply would not be able to comprehend the same concept... funny as shit 😂😂😂
monfils has been always a clown.
Yep, he didn't have to play.
I think the Europe team were a bit speechless and embarrassed.
🤦🏼♀️SMH! Love Felix!!
At least they conducted themselves in a gentlemanly manner I mean they didn't raise their voices they only had a chat sometimes we disagree to agree 😊
Simply a mistake from Laver Cup to invite Monfils. From a sport pov he cannot compete (anymore), his clown behavior does not belong to Laver Cup. Go play an exhibition in Saudi Arabia.
In hindsight I agree. And Whatta ya know he's playing again today in Doubles!! And who is on the other Doubles team? None other than Felix Auger-Aliassime. 😅 this should be FUN.
They are both behaving badly
But then again, who in the world watches this event?
Mofils acting like a clown
maybe the best thing that happened in this laver cup. two guys arguing in french
translation please!!!!
John said speak English. It’s only an exhibition .
War of words ? Come on, try to translate the exhange before calling it a war of words
Where is the real John McEnroe.. Its an imposter here.. Not a word uttered... U CANNOT BE SERIOUS.
Better not to get troubles with Monfils the guy seems me to be super strong.
Shelton 🙄🙄🙄
Monfils played massive head games. They have been played hard for 5 years, Felix is right. Monfils acts bizarre and actually tanks later, stupid.
Lol having watched the whole video .. everyone making a bigger deal of this than Felix. He was annoyed. He asked a question. He and Mongfils had a barely heated exchange, they didn’t even look mad. And that was that. Lol.
These Canadians......just on another level.. ?
Felix should learn to respect Gael Monfils the most loving guy on the tour
The World team is taking this way too seriously. The Laver cup doesn't mean anything. It's just a money-making event. Most of the big guns of tennis are not even there. I'm from Montreal and I'll say this to Felix: "Relaxe, Filou".
yeesh, what a horrible mindset. Obviously they werent on the same page but imo tennis is most fun when both players are taking it seriously
That kind of thinking is what started that nonsense. Monfils wasn't taking it serious at all. Rod Laver & Roger Federer were siting there. At least play well for them. Then Monfils lost the match and put Europe behind 0-3.
The players always taken it seriously, while having fun of course. This clowning was too much.
@@lordgothajix527 All the Team Europe fans are clowns crying foul because they lost Day 1 in a clean sweep. Pssh.
Sorry I meant clowning from Monfils@@got2bjosh
37 years old beefing with a 23 year old.......... embarrassing
Djokovic just laughing at these clowns lol…
