It's even more special because it's in France and in front of my crowd," said the 24-year-old Monfils.<br /><br />"Since the US Open I've been returning serve better and better. I feel I have been working on many things on and off the court and the results are now showing. <br /><br />It's a wonderful experience for me here, but we're all thinking about the Davis Cup, so I'm hoping to see you all in Belgrade," added Monfils, in reference to France's Davis Cup final against Serbia on December 3-5. The Parisian adds to his previous titles in Sopot (2005) and Metz (2009). </p>
