Gael Monfils pulled off another historic comeback that will be remembered at Roland Garros. The Frenchman was two sets down against Hugo Dellien, but he refused to go down in the first match of the tournament in his country. Therefore, he got to work and came back in five sets, and after securing the victory, he revealed the moment when he knew he would emerge as the winner of the match: "I knew the match was over the moment I made that pass at 2-2 in the fourth set tiebreak," confessed the Frenchman.

The French tennis player delivered another memorable match at Roland Garros after being two sets down following a hard fall that left him shaken, but he rose again with the help of the French crowd.
It was not the debut Gael Monfils had hoped for. The iconic star began his journey at Roland Garros on the Philippe Chatrier court, with the support of the French crowd. However, the entire stadium fell silent when the Frenchman stumbled, hit the advertising boards, and suffered a hard fall. In fact, he had to call for the doctor, but thankfully it was just a scare, although he seemed a bit affected in the following games.
