Recovering from a double operation these months, the French tennis player took advantage of this break by coaching for the first time. His pupil, Arthur Rinderknech, did quite well.
Gael Monfils pulled off an epic comeback in the Phillippe Chatrier against Hugo Dellien. The Frenchman was down two sets but ended up clinching the victory with a score of 3-6, 4-6, 6-1, 7-6(4), 6-1. Not only will he be celebrating this success, but also because he has tied Yannick Noah as the French player with the most wins at Roland Garros, with a total of 40. He will have the chance to lead the table with 41 wins if he can defeat Jack Draper in the next round.

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.

The enormous investments of the French Tennis Federation not only do not produce Grand Slam champions, but they also do not even maintain a strong presence of high-ranking tennis players. This is evidenced by the fact that in the last 19 Grand Slam tournaments, French players were absent in the second week in 10 of them. Between 1990 and 2020, there were only 7 events of this level without French players in the round of 16, out of the 123 disputed during that timeframe.
