WATCH: Monfils hits ball in without looking

The Frenchman would fall to Dominic Thiem in Indian Wells.

Published Mar 16, 2017

When you've got a match involving Gael Monfils, it guarantees entertainment. On Wednesday in Indian Wells, it wasn't Monfil's usual antics (tweeners, drop shots, high flying overheads, etc.) that caught people's attention, but a fake-out mid-point.

It looked like he was going to challenge, but instead he kept playing the point, and eventually won it. Ultimately, the 30-year-old lost to Dominic Thiem, 6-3, 6-2.

But let's go back to that crazy point for a moment. Monfils actually hit the ball back without looking.
