Roger Federer, who has yet to win the Paris Masters title, will have to try again next year after losing his semi-final against the home favourite Gaël Monfils, despite holding five match points. In front of a rapt 14,500 crowd in Bercy, the 16-times grand slam champion was unable, five times, to end the challenge of Monfils at 6-5 up in the final set, making a series of forehand errors. The Frenchman eventually prevailed over the Swiss, 7-6 (9-7), 6-7 (1-7), 7-6 (7-4). The Frenchman had lost all five of his previous meetings with world No2 Federer, but he took the first set when the top seed netted a forehand at 7-8 down in the tie-break.
I think Monfils is a very good player but he is very young, even though he is not the most important player because he has never win the finials championship, he has been fifth positions on championship. I has hope that this year he wins the championship French Open, because he has never won this championship and he is there. The big story about this player is when he was small he played tennis in the street because his family had no money, and one day a coach saw him and trained him to became a professional tennis player. In the future I believe that Gaël Monfils could be very successful as a tennis player.
