Gael Monfils faces his last Roland Garros at the age of 39, and his wife and WTA number seven, Elina Svitolina, has published an emotional and extensive letter in The Players Tribune addressed to their daughter. The letter is titled: 'Your dad, the magician'. In it, the Ukrainian assures, among many other things, that "I hope that when people talk about his impact on the game, everywhere but especially here at Roland Garros, it is what they say. I hope they say: Gaël Monfils, there was no other like him. Gaël Monfils meant a lot to tennis… but also something much deeper than tennis."
