It’s Sofia, so good for Gael

GAEL MONFILS doled out another impressive tennis lesson as he reached the semi-finals of the Sofia Open with a 6-3 7-6 win over Stefanos Tsitsipas.

The experienced Frenchman, who has slipped to No.33 in the world rankings after a series of injuries, looked in ominously good form as he took his place in the last four without dropping a set this week.

“I was very aggressive today,” said Monfils. “I tried to dictate the tempo and I did my job at the end.

“Today, I served very well, this is my best serving day so far.”

Monfils will meet Russian third seed Daniil Medvedev today who dismantled Slovakian Martin Klizan 6-4 6-1 to make the semis.
