WATCH: Dominic Thiem does a Gael Monfils against Gael Monfils
Gael Monfils is known for producing brilliant Tweeners, but Dominic Thiem gave him some of his own medicine during their clash at the French Open.
The two squared off in the fourth round at Roland Garros on Monday and the fourth-seeded Thiem came up with this beauty of a shot through the legs.
Shot. Of. The. Tournament. ?????

We are sure Monfils, a man known for producing ridiculous shots on a tennis court, would have been proud of that.
And to add insult to injury, Thiem went on to win the match in straight sets as he won 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.
