Thiem breaks early in the third.
Monfils acting the prick doing drop shot after drop shot. Delighted he lost the game.
Zverev with a break in third set.
Quarter finals shaping up nicely with some very enticing ties.
Monfils has broken back.
Monfils is fucked. No fitness. Thiem to break him here and serve for the match.
Like most of the French players, he lacks it mentally.
All done and dusted now. Thiem serving for the set. Monfils like all french players is mentally weak.

That we can agree on.
Game set match Thiem. Monfils is such a waster. Thiem knew he had the match won when monfils started doing drop shots every shot.
6ft 6 clay court specialist giraffe, Alex Zverev beats 5ft 10, Fabio Fognini to advance to his second quarter final at Roland Garros. Zverev has never made a quarter final in any of the other Grand Slams.
Last of the Round of 16 matches is a head to head between two 6ft 6 giraffes, Juan Martin Del Porto and Karen Khachanov. Khachanov another clay court specialist who has achieved his best Grand Slam results at Roland Garros.
Very disappointing tournament for the giraffes when you consider what they had 4 chaps in Wimbledon last 8 last year. Clay simply does not suit giraffes.
Avg height of Roland Garros quarter finalist 2019 - 6ft 1.75 inches

What is the criteria for being called a giraffe?
Giraffe or not?
Presumably it’s a height cut off point that determines whether or not a player is a giraffe?
One dimensional lanky big servers who only prosper on the grass/hard court season where they can bludgeons tonnes of aces.
6ft 6 inch giraffe Karen Khachanov advances to his first Grand Slam Quarter Final.
Hard to think Del Potro would be considered a giraffe?
Del Portro is 6ft 6. Does not automatically make him a giraffe?
