6-ranked Gael Monfils announced Wednesday that he will retire at the end of the 2026 tennis season. His best results at Grand Slam tournaments are two semifinals, at the 2008 French Open and 2016 U.S. Open. I won’t pretend that I expect to do so during the next year,” Monfils said, adding that he has no regrets. He took over from Federer, who was 38 years, 74 days old when he won the final tour title of his career, the Swiss Indoor title at Basel in 2019. “Gael Monfils’ hot shots were so spectacular, it was an honor to be on the receiving end of them,” he said.
