Frenchman has won five sets 6-1 or better this week
Gael Monfils’s flying start to 2022 continued on Friday at the Australian Open, where he won his seventh straight-set match of the season, 7-6(4), 6-1, 6-3, over Cristian Garin.
The 35-year-old Frenchman romped to the Adelaide International 1 title to start the new year, and has found an even higher gear on his way to the fourth round in Melbourne. He’s now recorded five sets of 6-1 or better this fortnight, including two apiece against Federico Coria and Alexander Bublik in the early rounds.
Garin made the 17th seed work hard for the opening set, erasing an early break deficit and edging out to a 4-1 lead in the tie-break. Two Monfils aces started a run of five straight points as he claimed a crucial advantage.
In stark contrast to Monfils, the Chilean spent over nine hours on court in the first two rounds against Facundo Bagnis and Pedro Martinez. After those hard miles, the chances of a comeback against the in-form Frenchman were slim.
Monfils pressed home the advantage with two immediate breaks in set two, and had one foot in the locker room when three Garin unforced errors surrendered another break for 3-2 in the third.
The 16th seed made his last stand in the ensuing game as he willed his way to a break point in an 18-point game. Monfils eventually sealed the hold with an ace—one of 17 in the contest—then finished the two-hour, one-minute match with his 30th winner on an easy forehand volley.
Monfils has not lost a completed match in 2022. His lone defeat came when he retired with a neck problem against Thiago Monteiro after the pair split sets at the Adelaide International 2. Back at full fitness, he’s through to his first Slam fourth round since the 2020 Australian Open. He’ll bid for his 10th major quarter-final on Sunday against the unseeded Serb Miomir Kecmanovic.

Frenchman advances in straight sets on John Cain Arena
Gael Monfils likes getting things done quickly but is not afraid to put in the hard yards when needed.
The Frenchman was given a real test by Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic in the fourth round of the Australian Open on Sunday evening, but the World No. 20 stayed strong to reach his 10th Grand Slam quarter-final with a 7-5, 7-6(4), 6-3 victory in two hours and 35 minutes on John Cain Arena.
The victory takes Monfils to the last eight in Melbourne for the first time since 2016 [l. to Raonic], but he has his eyes on a bigger prize in Melbourne.
“It’s been a long journey for me and I’m quite happy, but it’s not finished,” said the 17th seed in his on-court interview. “I will try to play this quarter-final not like the last time, I will try to be better. It’s an achievement but we’re not quite finished yet.”
Monfils had spent just five hours and five minutes on court in racing through his first three rounds, but World No. 77 Kecmanovic was also full of confidence having gone past the second round of a major for the first time in his career. A three-set Monfils victory in the pair’s first meeting at the Rolex Paris Masters just two months ago also suggested it would be anything but one-way traffic.
A tight start saw no break points until the 10th game but a set that had seemed destined for a tie-break then burst into life. Monfils recovered from 0/40 to hold and Kecmanovic got himself out of the same situation in the very next game. A double fault from the Serb at 5-6 down gave Monfils another opportunity, however, one he took with aplomb with a rasping backhand winner.
Kecmanovic defiantly stuck with his higher-ranked opponent but was left with a mountain to climb after 17th seed Monfils also edged the second set tie-break. The Frenchman’s explosive game finished off the Serb’s hopes in the third, Monfils ending the match with 54 winners and 81 per cent (48/59) of points won behind his first serve.
“It was very tough, he played extremely fast on both sides,” said Monfils. “I tried to be very aggressive today, tried to not let him dictate the points. I served quite well, and then it was just battling, battling, hanging in there.”
Monfils’ opponent in the last eight will be either seventh seed Matteo Berrettini or 19th seed Pablo Carreno Busta. With a 3-0 losing ATP Head2Head record against Italian Berrettini and a 3-3 record against Spaniard Carreno Busta, the Frenchman will not underestimate his opponent, no matter whom he faces.
“Both are extremely good,” said Monfils. “Matteo, I lost to him in the quarter-final of the [2019] US Open 7-6 in the fifth, and Pablo beat me in a semi-final [Metz] last year, so it’s going to be fun, a great match, but I will be ready for them.”
