Gael Monfils dismissed concerns an injured hand was hampering his game on Saturday, saying he was fit and well for his fourth-round clash at the Australian Open.
Monfils bruised his racquet hand playing a computer game last month but he said the problem didn't trouble him at all.
"I'm fine. I'm in second week, playing great tennis," said the Frenchman, who beat Latvia's Ernests Gulbis 7-6 (7/2), 6-3, 6-3 to reach the last 16.
"I played ATP Cup, was fine. I practised here for one month. I was really fine. I never said I was hurt."
