Monfils: I'm a little heavy, but improving

Gael Monfils, who has returned to the tour after almost four months away due to knee trouble, says he is not 100 percent yet. On Friday, the former world No. 7 reached the semifinals of Metz.

"There is fatigue that has accumulated, small pain,” Monfils told reporters. “I'm a little heavy so I wince a little. But every day, I move better.”
