Not only can these lads play a bit, they’ve got serious moves as well.

Not only can these lads play a bit, they’ve got serious moves as well.

When you’re taking part in a tournament in front of your home crowd, there’s almost an obligation for you to entertain and French duo Gael Monfils and Laurent Lokoli did just that at Roland Garros before the tournament even started at the weekend.

Sunday was kids’ day at Roland Garros and although the rain threatened to spoil the day for everyone, Monfils and Lokoli raised everyone’s spirits with a very impressive dance-off while well-known French DJ Bob Sinclair provided the music and filmed the event from his station in the audience.

We’re a little bit late bringing it to your attention but it’s too good not to share and although Monfils put up an excellent fight and probably did enough to take it to deuce, we’re going to award game, set and match to young whippersnapper Lokoli, who definitely has a career on the dance floor if the tennis doesn’t work out.

Class.
