What seemed like an open secret has become a reality. Gael Monfils will hang up his racket at the end of the 2026 season. The Frenchman confirmed this through his social media: "I picked up a racket for the first time at two and a half years old, and started playing professionally at 18. Now, after celebrating my 39th birthday just a month ago, I would like to share that next year will be my last as a professional tennis player. The opportunity to turn my passion into my profession is a privilege that I have appreciated during every match and every moment of my 21-year career," stated the 39-year-old tennis player, who still has one more year to continue creating great moments.
