Australian Open: expeditious, Monfils goes to the third round

Impressive mastery, Gaël Monfils qualified without forcing for the third round of the Australian Open by clearly dominating the Kazakh Alexander Bublik, dismissed in three sets and less than an hour and a half (6-1, 6 -0, 6-4).

Completely out of the game, the 37th in the world multiplied the unforced errors and quickly abdicated on the Margaret Court Arena.

Opposite, the Francilien offered himself a new health walk after his first round and thus confirms his excellent start to the year after his triumph in Adelaide.
