Monfils: "There are many athletes who are 40 years old and they continue to perform at a high level"
At 38 years old, Gael speaks candidly about retirement, shares his goals, and selects his dream location to bid farewell to the world of tennis.
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 [...]."

As the Frenchman predicted, this time the victory would be for Carlitos. Wins in two sets and a ticket to the quarterfinals in Shanghai, where he awaits his opponent.

The French player comments in the press conference that he was lucky in Cincinnati to defeat Alcaraz, but that he will "crush" him in Shanghai.
It is no secret that Carlos Alcaraz's American summer was not the best possible. Out of the three matches he played, the Spaniard lost two: against Gael Monfils in Cincinnati and against Botic Van de Zandschulp at the US Open. Well, a month and a half after those bad experiences, the Spanish player will have the opportunity to redeem himself this week at the Shanghai Masters 1000, as Gael Monfils will be his next opponent in the round of 16. The Frenchman is continuing with his active third youth and this morning he defeated his compatriot Ugo Humbert in three sets (7-6, 2-6, 6-1), thus securing a spot in the fourth round of the tournament. A very interesting clash awaits us in China, with Gael who is always dangerous on these courts.
