Ništa od pete titule. Monfis je u finalu Vinston Sejlema predao meč pri rezultatu 3:6, 1:2 zbog povrede kuka, i tako je 32-godišnji Austrijanac, koji je i bio bolji takmac na terenu, ostvario prvu pobjedu u 5. pokušaju protiv Francuza, te zasluženo odnio trofej. Nije Gael mogao kvalitetno da servira, istegnuće abdomena koje je zaradio u meču sa Dolgopolovim nije bilo nimalo naivno, pa su se na to nadovezali i problemi sa kukom, a imajući u vidu blizinu US Opena, LaMonf je morao da baci peškir. Nade za US Open sada su tanke ali borac je to, i sigurno će pokušati da igra i u Njujorku.
"For sure I am a bit sad because I am a big fighter," the 26-year-old Frenchman said. "But I want to say well done to Jurgen because he had a good week, so well done."
"It was not bad actually before the match," Monfils said. "It was sore but I thought I could play and finish it no matter what. But then it was like 50 minutes and I tried to serve like full speed, and there was one serve that was around 80, and that was it. Then I had like electricities coming up and it was not a little bit painful, it was really painful. It was very, very painful."
"This is great," Monfils said. "It truly is great. Sad because all the time I played well and now I could not make this finish line, but I had a great time. I discovered a new city. The people were nice. The tournament was nice. So I know it was a good experience here. Will I be back? Yeah, why not? Yeah."
