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.

Gaël Monfils continues to fight to not lose relevance, but the wear and tear and physical demands of the sport seem to have taken an even greater toll on him in recent months. The Frenchman has not won a match since Wimbledon: the ATP Chengdu 2025 was seen as a great opportunity to break that losing streak, but it ended in disappointment and issues after he was forced to retire in his debut against Alexander Shevchenko (6-7(3), 6-3, 1-0 and Retired). A fall on his right ankle caused the pain, a bad twist that we still do not know if it may have further consequences in the long term.

We were all concerned to see Gael Monfils retire in the first round of the Chengdu ATP, where an ankle injury forced him to withdraw at the beginning of the third set against Shevchenko. At 39 years old, nothing surprises us at this point. The Frenchman, who hasn't won a match since Wimbledon, wanted to share some messages on Twitter to let everyone know how he's doing.

"Clearly, it's not the best moment of my career, let's be honest. Right now, there are many things at stake, many questions, I'm not in the best mood, and today I wasn't very lucky, my ankle failed me. Despite everything, I am personally doing very well, and that's what matters most. I still feel very lucky to be able to play this sport that I love so much at the highest level," said the Frenchman.

The American tournament continues to suffer last-minute withdrawals. In this case, the ATP Cincinnati 2025 will not feature Gael Monfils in this edition. The French player recently stated in Toronto that it would be the last time he played in that city, so we do not know if the American public will have another chance to see the good Monfils, who will seek to arrive in the best conditions for the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the season.

Just over a month away from turning 39, Gael Monfils is clear that the end of his career is getting closer every day. Last night, after being defeated in the first round of the Toronto Masters 1000, the Frenchman dared to bid farewell to the tournament in the post-match press conference. At least, bidding farewell to this venue.

"This is the last time I will play in Toronto [...] It will be two years before playing here again, so I practically won't be able to play it; I think I will be too old by then, that's why I believe this is my last time here. I thought about it as I left the court, it's a shame, but this is the last time I play in this place," stated the Frenchman, defeated in three sets by the Chilean Tomás Barrios.
