You don't need to know a lick of French, or even watch the below clip, to understand what Gael Monfils did. Just listen to the shot of the day.

But we bet you'd like to see it. So open your eyes, enjoy, and try to restrain yourself from viewing it multiple times.

The showstopping Frenchman was at it again Friday, taking what was a fairly deep return from Alejandro Gonzalez and turning it into a made-for-YouTube moment. Incroyable, indeed.

The announcers weren't the only ones impressed with Monfils, who went on to win in straight sets. Victoria Azarenka shared her appreciation, along with a great action shot of La Monf, on Twitter:

Next up for Monfils is another stylish Frenchman, Richard Gasquet. Peter Bodo and Nick Bollettieri preview that third-rounder from the U.S. Open:
