Tennis Player Gets Creative After Dropping Racquet
|

Gael Monfils got a little creative during his round of 16 match against Viktor Troicki in the Rogers Cup.

During the middle of a point, Monfils dropped his racquet and rather than giving up, the seventh ranked tennis player in world had a Mentos moment of sorts, playing on without a racquet.

He ultimately lost the point but forced his opponent into a tougher shot before going on to win the match in three sets while reportedly using a racquet.
