Kokkinakis & Kygios’s exchange amused me:

They love LaMonf and/or they dislike Berdych…
Roddick: “Is Gael Monfils the most talented guy to never finish a year in the top ten?”
Im not an expert in tennis history, but I cant think of anyone more (or as) talented than Monfils to never finish in the year end Top 10.
I would have also said he’s the most talented player to never reach a slam final, but Nalbandian is in full command of that title.
I thought Nalby got to the 2002 Wimbledon final and lost to Hewitt?
I forgot about the Wimbledon 2002 final (perhaps its a repressed memory). So Monfils is definitely the most talented player to never reach a slam final.
