Gaël Monfils, French tennis professional, had the best reaction when he missed a point in the Men's Singles Quarter Finals.

On Friday, in a match against Japan's Kei Nishikori, Monfils hit a relatively easy ball squarely into the net.

His response to this mistake?

Press ups.

Five stars for commitment to SPORT.

Then again, he probably's doesn't get much of a chance to exercise, being an international tennis star.

As far as being a good-humoured sport goes, this is one of the best non-victory reactions of the 2016 Olympics.

Despite Monfils' display of supreme upper body strength, Nishikori won the Quarter Final and plays Andy Murray in the Semi Final on Saturday.
