Opposed to Gaël Monfils in the round of 16 of the Cincinnati tournament, Novak Djokovic made short work of the French player. The Serb therefore continues his career in the United States while Monfils still does not succeed against the record holder of Grand Slam victories. Indeed, it’s one more defeat for the 36-year-old player who continues his black series against Djokovic and offers himself a very sad record.
In recent weeks, Gaël Monfils has been able to taste victory again after a very complicated period where his physique bothered him. But then on his way, the Frenchman met a certain Novak Djokovic. In the round of 16 of the tournament Cincinnatithe Serb finally gave no chance to My son. Indeed, the world number 2 won in two sets 6-3, 6-2. A setback that once again confirms that Novak Djokovic is indeed the pet peeve of Gael Monfils on the circuit.

19-0 for Djokovic against Monfils
Indeed, facing Novak Djokovic, Gael Monfils just can’t win. This defeat at Cincinnati then only lengthens the series of the native of Paris against the world number 2. From now on, Djokovic has a record of 19-0 against My son. It’s simply a record streak right now. “This series is a fantasy of people. Of course I would like to beat him just once. But the guy is just stronger than me. Give me a guy weaker than me and I’ll win 50 times against him. If we look at my career, 19 times, that means that I lose overall once a year against him. Of course, there are those who beat him, but he beat, I don’t know, 25 times Murray or Federer. Of course, they beat him too. But he’s just stronger than me and I can’t find the key. I want to win too, but I’m never a favourite. Each time he is 1st or 2nd in the world. I was never a favourite, in fact”, has also explained Gael Monfils about this inability to beat Novak Djokovic following this 19th defeat.
Nadal and Federer also impress
With this 19-0 against Gael Monfils, Novak Djokovic therefore holds the record for consecutive victories against the same player. But there are other similar series in tennis. Richard Gasquet can testify to this. For the French, the nightmare is called Rafael Nadal with an 18-0 in favor of the Spaniard. Then there are several series at 17-0. It’s worth for Roger Federer who has the advantage over David Ferrer as well as Mikhail Youzhnywhile Björn Borg et Yvan Lendl respectively dominated Life Gerulaitis et Tim Mayotte.
