Gael Monfils has regaled the 2013 French Open crowd with compelling, dramatic performances so far at Roland Garros. First he topped No. 6 Tomas Berdych in the first round in a scintillating five-set bout, and he followed that up with a four-set defeat of Ernests Gulbis. At one point, whilst Gulbis was away taking a bathroom break, Monfils whiled away the time by winding his arm around his head—not difficult for a limber, spindly guy such as him—and filming the crowd, decidedly in his favor, as it performed the Wave in the stadium. See the scene here:
