Gael Monfils is getting ready to bid farewell. The 39-year-old French player, former world number 6 and semifinalist at Roland Garros and US Open, has already begun his farewell tour on the circuit. Far from thinking about defending his title at ATP Auckland 2026, the Frenchman experienced this tournament as his first goodbye.

Now focusing on Open de Australia 2026, Gael has in mind the perfect route to say goodbye to the world of tennis this year, as well as revealing what his surprising future plans are.

"I didn’t return as the defending champion; I came as if it were my last tournament in Auckland. This year, I'm not defending anything; I'm just winning. Being on the court is already a great victory. If I can win matches, even better. But just being here is a big win for me. I’m getting a bit older, so it's not easy. I haven't played since the grass tour. I played maybe four matches. Wimbledon was the last tough match I played. It's challenging, but not impossible," confessed Gael Monfils, as reported on the official page of ATP Auckland 2026.

"I was very tired, and I even hurt my legs a bit. From that moment, I felt that maybe it was time to retire because not being able to maintain this level for one, two, three, or four tournaments means something. I felt I was at the limit. So far, I'm thinking about going to South America after Australia, and then not much. Paris will be the most important. If I can play in the United States, it would be amazing. I love the Indian Wells Masters and the Miami Open. Then the US Open and also Monaco. Perhaps 12 tournaments, hopefully."

The future of Gael Monfils

Although many players leave the future open, it seems that the Frenchman has very clear plans: "I will work in finance. My wife will continue playing tennis. I will be at home with my daughter. I don't think I will travel much, so I will take a break from tennis."
