Gael Monfils through in Qatar

Philipp Kohlschreiber loses out to Gael Monfils at the Qatar Open in Doha.

Frenchman Gael Monfils booked his place in round three of the Qatar Open thanks to a three-set victory over Philipp Kohlschreiber this afternoon.

Monfils, currently 74 in the world, claimed an early break of his German opponent's serve to help him wrap up the opening set 6-4.

However, world number 20 Kohlschreiber reacted positively in the second set and recorded two breaks of his own to win through 6-2 and in doing so forced a deciding third set.

Just as he had in the first set, Monfils required only one break of serve to claim a 6-4 success and book his place in the next round.

He will now take on Daniel Brands for a place in the quarter-finals.
