Gael Monfils returned to the tennis courts this week at the ATP 250 in Stuttgart, where Alex Michelsen awaited him in the first round. It was a close match that ended up in favor of the American (6-4, 4-6, 6-3). Problems arose afterward, as usual: diving into social media and encountering tons of hatred. Fortunately, the Frenchman is experienced and took it in good humor, sharing the following video.

"Seriously? Did you bet on me? In a match on grass? I was playing against Alex Michelsen, 20 years old, ranked #35 in the world. You are completely wrong. Don't do this anymore…" Gael explained with utmost honesty.
