Monfils withdraws at the last minute from the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2024
The situation for Gael Monfils was not looking good heading into the ATP Rolex Paris Masters. The Frenchman had been granted a wildcard for the main draw of the tournament just hours after withdrawing from the Vienna round of 16 against Lorenzo Musetti. It appears that Monfils has some physical problem that will prevent him from taking advantage of this special tournament invitation. He shared the decision on social media along with some nostalgic words about what this tournament means to him: "20 years ago, I played my first tournament here. An invitation to qualifiers, I qualified, won a main draw round, and here I am playing with Lleyton Hewitt, world number 2 [...] Between Bercy and me, there is a special story, I grew up there, dreamed from the stands, made two finals, beat Federer for the first time [...]."
