Watch La Monf defy gravity going airborne for this forehand only to crash abruptly to the blue hard court banging up his right hand in the process.




Monfils took a 10-minute injury timeout for treatment and taping to his right hand. The 23rd-seeded Frenchman returned to action, his fingers and right hand taped up from the scrapes, and resumed his fourth-round match with Andrey Kuznetsov.
