On Sunday, against Roger Federer he asked umpire Carlos Bernardes for a “blanket” or “duvet”. After Bernardes kept rejecting the request, Monfils suggested the Brazilian “ask the president”, referring to Jean Gachassin, the president of the Federation Francaise de Tennis who has been attending most of the French players’ matches. After the changeover, Monfils actually walked over to Gachassin, whose designated seat is in the section right behind the baseline, and asked him for a blanket. The following changeover, a ball kid brought Monfils a blanket but for some reason he turned it down saying he didn’t want it anymore. Moody much, LaMonf?
I will not walk your dusty path and flat,
denoting this and that by this and that,
your world immutable wherein no part
the little maker has with Maker's art.
I bow not yet before the Iron Crown,
nor cast my own small golden sceptre down.
