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.

As you hear it, eight. months since the good Gael Monfils won a tennis match, since his victory in the first round of the last Wimbledon. From that moment on, defeat after defeat, accumulating a total of seven consecutive losses. The nightmare ended this morning at the ATP 500 in Acapulco, where the French tennis player defeated Damir Dzumhur in two sets (6-4, 7-6) and finally opened his 2026 win account. Remember that Gael is 39 years old and in his final professional season, so every small joy comes at an immeasurable price. His next opponent will be Valentin Cacherot.

Young, athletic, with a privileged physique, great defensive skills, and of Black descent. Similarities between Moise Kouamé, who has burst into the elite in a surprising manner at 16 years old, and someone who did it two decades ago: Gaël Monfils. Richard Gasquet knows him well, with whom he shared the circuit and who is now one of the mentors of young Moise. Surprised by the comparisons that have already emerged in France, the one from Béziers was quick to dodge them and ask the public to let his protege pave his own way.

"Every player is different. Just as Alcaraz is not Nadal, Moise is not Gaël either. Each one has their own story and will try to create their own path. Every player is different, with their own DNA. Moise, moreover, is unique. 'Recreating' a new Monfils is not easy, believe me," he pointed out emphatically in words collected by TennisActu. He also emphasized that from the Federation, they are "very happy" with the progression of the young promise, but they are fully aware that his story has only just begun.

Since 1990, no French male tennis player had achieved what Gael Monfils has done this morning at the ATP 500 in Acapulco. With his victory over Damir Dzhumur in the first round of the tournament, Gael becomes the oldest player since Nicolas Mahut to secure a professional win on the tour. The record now stands at 39 years and 176 days, surpassing Mahut's mark of 39 years and 15 days. We will see how 2026 unfolds because it seems that Gael might continue breaking his own record. A standing ovation for a man who has been winning at least one official match in each of the past 23 consecutive seasons.

Gael Monfils will not participate in the ATP 500 in Rio de Janeiro. The Frenchman, who had already announced his absence from the Buenos Aires tournament taking place this week, will also not be present in the Brazilian city due to a virus. "Unfortunately, I have contracted a virus. My health is my top priority, and I need time to recover and return to the courts," Monfils commented. Consequently, the charismatic French player will not be able to say goodbye to the South American audience in his last season on the circuit.

We are in the final professional season of Gael Monfils, a year where we wish the greatest happiness to the French tennis player, although so far nothing is going as he wanted. Defeated in his two matches played so far (Auckland, Australian Open), now the French player had focused on the Buenos Aires ATP 250, but he will ultimately not be able to connect with the Argentine audience. A stomach virus has completely knocked him out, so he had no choice but to apologize to all parties involved through a video on social media. Let's hope Gael's situation improves in the coming months.

Carlos Alcaraz is on fire in this Australian Open 2026. The Spaniard is on a roll and after defeating Alex de Miñaur in the quarterfinals, he advances to the semifinals in Melbourne for the first time, where he will face Alexander Zverev. However, he has achieved this in an even more challenging way, without dropping a single set. This puts him back on the list of active tennis players who have reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam without losing a set.

The player from Murcia had already done it in the past US Open, and the list includes Jannik Sinner (Australian Open 2024, Roland Garros 2025), Novak Djokovic (Australian Open 2008 and 2015, Roland Garros 2015 and 2019, Wimbledon 2013, and US Open 2012), Jack Draper (US Open 2024), Daniil Medvedev (US Open 2020), Pablo Carreño (US Open 2017), Stan Wawrinka (Roland Garros 2017), and Gaël Monfils (US Open 2016).
