Gael Monfils played the ATP Acapulco for the first time in 2009 – reaching the final against Nico Almagro – and never returned. It wasn’t until 2026, in his final professional season, that the Frenchman decided to come back to Mexico to bid farewell to his fans. This week, the Frenchman claimed his first victory of the year. However, his journey could not advance beyond the second round, where he was defeated by Valentin Vacherot. After losing on the court, Monfils left the court to a well-deserved ovation.
