As a frenchman, I have the utmost respect for Simon.
With Tsonga, Gasquet and especially Monfils, you always wanted more. You always felt like they could do better, that they were crumbling in big matches they could win, that at least one of them should have won a slam or 2. But Simon was a warrior. He was a more limited player who maxed out his potential. Absolute respect.
from a hugeee Gael fan this comment is spot on, so much respect for Gilou & his career. True Champion (Used to give Nole & Roger crazy headaches at times lol)
You know, I was going to post "what's the big deal about the 4th best frenchman of his generation retiring (unless it's the 1920s)?" but your post provided excellent perspective. You never felt going into a tournament "Simon's got a good chance to win this"... but you always worried when you saw that the player you were rooting for had to play him next.
With Simon you always wanted less
Monfils had a mental barrier. With his frame and athletics, should have played a power tennis style, instead he went the Gilles Simon way and never won a major. Tsonga yes, had the skills and the power but probably was a bit heavy always and struggled to maintain form in a long Grand Slam tournament. In the end the body gave up, it is a tough sport. I always liked Jo, such an entertaining player! My favourite French player all time!
@@cristianconstantinescu7264 Tsonga did great. He was defenitely not as frustrating as Monfils. But he was a set up in the AO final against Djokovic, and he got those match points against Djokovic again at the French Open. And there's another time against Roger I believe at Wimbledon where he throws away the match. There's just a couple times where we thought he was gonna get over the hump but he never did. But overall a great career for Jo.
You have to understand french fans. We have had many many players in the top 10, even in the top 5 in recent years. But we have not had ONE Grand Slam Winner since Yannick Noah in 1983. It's been 40 freaking years !
French tennis fans are actually all quite sad. It's frustrating to be a french men's tennis fan. The women have fared a little better (Pierce, Mauresmo, Bartoli).
Simon at his peak is glorious. He can lull you with his persistent absorbing baseline crowding, but then all of a sudden can inject pace out of nowhere to catch you off guard. Extremely dangerous, annoying, energy-draining and brutal to hang with. He makes you work hard against him. We will miss him. Amongst the many great players we are saying goodbye to.
@@unowen7591 you also forgot Del Potro
Didn't Anderson also retire this year?
@@starlighthero6499 and Seppi
@@jonas8993 And Robredo
@@bryandyer5454 And Kohlschreiber
He was unique. Made tennis different, and got to the highest level with nothing but intelligence and hard, hard work.
The only thing you can feel towards him is respect. A lot of it.
And love, of course. Hopefully we'll see much more of him as a coach in a couple of years.
Merci TennisTV pour ce beau clin d'oeil et bravo à Gilles pour cette carrière incroyable. Une intelligence sur le court hors du commun, une combativité légendaire, Gilou n'a jamais été un "joueur popcorn" mais un vrai modèle d'humilité !
Man, only 11 minutes? You can only fit 4 of his rallies in there!
One of the totally good guys of tennis. Loved watching this crafty and talented player do his thing. Total respect to Gilles Simon.
Merci Beaucoup Atp 💫 best wishes for rest of your life Gilou!🥳
Most underrated player ever such beautiful smooth groundstrokes and could go toe to toe with the very best in the world. He beat Federer the first two times he played him and also beat djokovic the first time they played. He has wins against all of the big four and had the talent to have a much better career in my opinion
Bravo Gilles pour ta carrière et tous ses beaux moments que tu nous as fait vivre depuis tant d'années !! Merci beaucoup et profite à fond de ta nouvelle vie !
I loved the way Gilles played but above all I loved the way he carried himself on court, his respect for the game, composure, and tenacity in an era of greats.
Most underrated shot maker ever
My favorite player ever. He wasn’t the most spectacular. But OMG a true warrior until the end. Wish you all the best. Je t’aime Gillou ❤
Gotta love Simon. So many times, he apologizes for points where he has done nothing wrong but displayed his brilliance. Such class.
Master of long rallies thank you for all Gilles 💙
Merci Gilles et Tennis TV. Quelle intelligence de jeux, et la preuve qu'on a pas besoin d'etre un cyborg pour gagner, mais que toutes les morphologies ont leur chances.
Farewell to the greatest pusher of all time
He's better than Lendl 🤔
@@420benton2 Yeah, that 8 Grand Slam, 80 titles, and 270 weeks at #1 disparity between the two doesn't mean a thing. Seriously, comparing the fourth best frenchman of his generation to the most dominant player of the 80s is a wee bit of a reach.
@@HeavyTopspin That's what McEnroe called Lendl. A pusher.
@@420benton2 Actually it was Connors, prefaced by some words that would probably get me kicked off CZcams. Of course, Lendl only pushed against Connors because it was the perfect strategy to throw him off his game.
Lendl was a bomb, he was awesome. Simon has nothing on Lendl
my all time favorite player. top 10 mover of all time clean and stylish fighter
In a parallel universe Simon and monfils are still knocking the ball around in a lovely rally.❤️
Enjoy life Gilles. Thank you for your amazing tennis.
What a player. Miss him already!
Merci d'honorer ce joueur souvent sous estimé qui personnellement m'a beaucoup inspiré tactiquement. Je pense qu'avec Murray on a les deux tacticiens les plus intéressants (du top 10) // Thank you for honor this often underestimated player who personally inspired me a lot tactically. I think that with Murray we have the two most interesting tacticians (on the top 10)
Best backhand to ever play
gilles will be missed such a unique player
One of my favs ever 🙏🙏🙏🙏
he is going to be even better as a coach.
Simon was og Medvedev. His court coverage was something else.
Now Simon is Medvedev's coach!
I'm gonna miss this guy
A Legend
Being a tennis fan for not too long, when I first look at the brutal thumbnail, I thought this guy should be a very super hard hitter and attacker, but then when I searched more about him it turned out he's just a pusher who rarely attacks. His long rally vs the other pusher Monfils will definitely make offensive players like Federer&Gonzalez crazy
Another great player in an era of outstanding players. I saw him play all the best and he could go at it with them - it’s small differences at the top. All the French players of his generation were good but just not quite the level of the big four. Tsonga was the best of them.
Thanks Gilles!!!
i have lots of respect for simon, he wasn't the most talented player, but he maxed out his potential to the best of his ability, and played great tennis, he also played really hard and was a true warrior
Спасибо!
This man looks like he still has more Tennis in him.
MERCI GILOU!
More Simon vs Medvedev rallies please.
I've been looking for some tennis to fall asleep to lately.
I really thought that Novak guy ar 10:12 was Djoko with the movements, the yelling...
Tu nous manques Gilou 😭😭😭
He just beat Taylor Fritz for his last win. It’s amazing to beat a top 10 player and then retire. He could keep playing if he wanted to.
Simon proved that you need to be more smart than powerful to get into the top. However anytime I think about him I always conme back to that awkward moment when at the press conference he crititzed equal prize money beacause more people wacth men´s tennis that women´s and Sharapova came after him and said something on the lines of: "Oh, Gilles do you really think more people watch your matches than mine ?" Ouch...
in general, women tennis is a trash, so he is right.
Hey tennis tv, this year is the 20th anniversary of Gaudios victory at RG. Can you make a highlight of his carreer for this occasion ? Thanks
most efficient mover ever
unbelievable mover. He can select shots like that crosscourt forehand when he's way outside the court because he knows he can make it back to cover. Even when he falls away into his forehand, he makes the time up with is insane movement, and can hit a pass on a ball at any height. Really insane stuff
how are there 11 minutes worth of highlights for this guy haha
❤❤❤
3:12 are u kidding me that rally…
Simon has Highlights?
Some evaluations have it that the most boring rallies/matches of the tour were made by him.
But I hope this video and his performance in his homeland this week will finally convince many spectators of his brilliant skills and career
Nah he is still the most boring player i've seen in the last 20 years. Respect for him as a player but his game was just very boring
@@TheMitchie21 Agreed, i'm french and always fully support him cause he does not have big weapons except his skills of never missing shot selections and tactics but he truly is boring to watch on television. that's just the way he plays. not blaming him
I agree with that he is boring to watch. I just want to put an emphasis on his whole skill to continue the accurate shots and let the opponent cause faults. These statements should be compatible.
@@kisenhakkadonoseki20541 O for sure. Like he was always in the top 50 i believe so he is a skilled player. His skill was bringing the ball back in play. It was just a bit boring but he did it really well
They call him "King Push" !
The GOAT is Djokovic, and I say this as a Swiss!
Wrong
Tsonga, Monfils and now Simon.... they're all gone and not a slam between them. What now for French tennis?
2:58 - 3:39
Quick recap of Simon's career
Nice one les français du tchat
The pushiest pusher ever to push....😒😌
3:02 - 3:42 🥲
He's a pusher, like most frenchmeen
Il aurait pû faire 1 an de plus
The whole video is just one point

Monfils Simon 72 shot rally at australian open... Match ended 8-6 in the 5th
Who won
@@ankitsharma1162 Simon
good guy and good player, but sadly such a boring game to watch !
More exciting than servebots thats for sure
not boring at all.
Has he beaten Medvedev?
yes
It’s head scratching that players like Simon and Monfils have never even made it to a Single GD finals.
is it true that he only use multifilament strings in his rackets?
