Gael Monfils is widely considered one of the most athletic players on the ATP curcuit, so his shot last night isn't all that surprising, but it was impressive.

Monfils was playing Jan-Lennard Struff last night, and had a return shot where he went horizonatal...literally. Explaining it doesn't do much justice so the video will have to do. Gael has been making the best of his time at Roland Garros as he was at the center of an epic dance battle with fellow Frenchmen Laurent Lokoki. Keep an eye out for Monfils the rest of this French Open, as clearly he's always where the action is.
