The Frenchman really is one of tennis’ great entertainers…

There are certain sportsmen that always seem to have the midas touch when it comes to entertaining the fans with dazzling displays of skill and invention.

We could never forget the numerous O’Driscoll passes between the legs or Ronaldinho’s amazing array of tricks with a ball at his feet. You can add the name of Gael Monfils to this list because the French player is just a joy to watch on the court sometimes.

Dance-offs, amazing improvisation and incredible between the legs winners are just some of his trademarks.

Monfils’ French teammates had already beaten the Czech Republic to book their place in the Davis Cup final against Switzerland, thus making his match against Lukas Rosol a dead rubber.

Since the Frenchman treats every game like an exhibition match we we’re certain that there would be some entertainment on offer now that any pressure was off his shoulders.

We weren’t disappointed, just take a look. He even won the match, 5-7, 6-4, 7-5.
