There is rarely any record that Novak Djokovic hasn’t surpassed during his illustrious journey in the men’s circuit. The Serbian tennis star has once again made headlines for pulling off a unique feat after outclassing Gael Monfils in the ongoing  Cincinnati Open. In the round of 16 of the ATP Masters 1000 event, the former world No. 1 thumped the French tennis player (6-3,6-2), on the hard courts in Ohio.

Additionally, it was their 19th encounter on the court, and the Serb now boasts an incredible H2H record of 19-0. In doing so, the ‘Djoker’ has broken the record of the most one-sided H2H against the same player, in the men’s circuit. Notably, after his recent victory against the former world No. 6, Djokovic was quick to apologize, though, in a ‘heartfelt yet hilarious’ manner.

Gael Monfils hails the ‘unapologetic’ gesture from Novak Djokovic

After getting outshined in straight sets and conceding a discouraging record, the French tennis star asked the ‘Djoker’ for his autograph. Gael Monfils eventually got his signature alongside an unapologetic message on the t-shirt that the Serb wore during their match. The message stated, “#19. 17.08.23. Sorry not sorry.”

In his ‘heartfelt yet hilarious’ gesture, Djokovic reminded Monfils about their massively one-sided, 19-0 H2H record. However, despite his opponent’s sheer dominance in their encounters on the court, the Frenchman hailed him as the “GOAT’. 

On his Twitter account, the former world No. 6 shared a picture of that signed t-shirt with the unapologetic message from Djokovic. He also added a caption, “It may not have been the match I was hoping for against the GOAT, but it’s still an honor and a pleasure to face @DjokerNole.” (Translated using Google Translate)

Monfils also expressed his gratitude for all the support while asserting that he will be back for the Grand Slam event in New York. Apart from Monfils, there is another popular figure in the tennis realm, who recently lauded the Serb after his thumping victory in the Cincinnati Open.

The American tennis star, Andy Roddick recently hailed the ‘Djoker’ for his sheer ‘H2H’ dominance against his French colleague. In an interview with the Tennis Channel, the former US Open champion emphasized the magnitude of his one-sided record against Monfils. Roddick did so, however, in a hilarious manner as he said, “Novak’s record against Gael Monfils’ can almost legally drink in this country.”

Meanwhile, the former tennis ace also lauded the 36-year-old player’s spectacular prowess on the court that has often enthralled the entire tennis community.
