That Monfils-Federer match. Wow. Just wow.
I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the season opener of the NFL, but they also had a TV with that match on. I quickly lost interest in the NFL game as Monfils went up 2-0 against Federer. Then the comeback. Monfils getting to double-match point then Federer responding with some brilliant play was the turning point in the match. I was texting a friend early on during the second set and mentioned how cool and collected Federer seemed to be playing (however poorly compared to later sets) against the much more energetic Monfils, and I predicted that Federer would come back unless Monfils finished him off early. That turned out to be exactly the case, especially in the 5th set, where it was an entirely drained Monfils playing after spending so much energy getting there.
