Monfils is the current French #1, ranked #7 in the world, the highest ranking of his career. He was an absolute beast on the juniors circuit, claiming three consecutive junior slam titles in 2004: Australia, Roland Garros and Wimbledon. He has yet to move beyond supporting cast status with the big boys. Could this be the year?
