The Hypo Group Tennis International
Poertschach, Austria Singles Final:
Juan Monaco (ARG) d (WC)
Gael Monfils (FRA) 7-6(3), 6-0
Doubles Final:
(1) Aspelin/J.Knowle (SWE/AUT) d. Friedl/Skoch (CZE) 7-6(6), 5-7, 10-5
Monaco wins his second career title after
Buenos Aires in February. Monfils has lost his last four tournament finals, but in reaching the Poert-sausage final can claim wins over former No. 1s
Andy Roddick and
Lleyton Hewitt. Unfortunately the bagel in the second confirms Monfils' reputation as a player long on natural talent and short on the fitness ethic.
