Tennis is a sport that requires a lot of commitment. Players like Gael Monfils, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga have made sacrifices and were forced to take harsh decisions in order to help them develop into professional athletes. However, in the end, they are all humans and do have their share of habits that do not blend with their professionalism.
Recently, Gael Monfils along with Elina Svitolina, Coco Gauff, and the other star players on Tour revealed their bad habits. While stating their habits, the answers differed from player to player. So stated that they have many flaws and not just a few. There were a couple of players that revealed ‘procrastination’ as one of their worst habits.
