Asking, “Where Is Monfils?”

last week’s admission by Henri Leconte in Tennis News that he is
concerned about Gail Monfils’ state of mind, worries are mounting in
France over the 26 year-old whose ranking has plummeted to a position

Murray
Disappointed With Third Place In BBC Sports Personality Award
US
Open and Olympic champion Andy Murray suffered a mixed weekend. First he
was heartened by the news that, come what may with the weather in New
York next September, his title defense at Flushing Meadows will see the
tournament extended by an extra day to lessen the physical stress of
playing back-to-back semi-finals and finals. Then, despite enjoying the
most successful tennis season for a British male player in 76 years, he
only came third in the nation’s BBC Sports Personality of the Year
awards.
