very true. monfils is more interested in dumbell curls than building
up his stamina. hence, his results.
> Borg also tired himself out in matches early in his career, but I don't remember that being an issue or him ever tanking in prime years of '77-81. I've no doubt that Federer did tank the FO '08 final. That's an isolated case for him though.
