ATP News: Gael Monfils retiring after ’26 season: ‘Completely at peace’

Added to Favorite


Gael Monfils will retire after the 2026 season, ending a two-decade career as one of the most popular and entertaining players on the ATP Tour.

The 39-year-old Frenchman has won 13 singles titles and earned more than $24 million in prize money since his 2004 debut. His best finishes at Grand Slam events include semifinal appearances at the 2008 French Open and 2016 U.S. Open.

“I had a racket in my hands for the first time at two and a half, and began playing professionally at 18,” he wrote on social media. “Now, after celebrating my 39th birthday just a month ago, I’d like to share that the year ahead will be my last as a professional tennis player.

“The opportunity to turn my passion into a profession is a privilege I have cherished during every match and moment of my 21-year career. Though this game means the world to me, I am tremendously at peace with my decision to retire at the end of the 2026 tennis season.”

Monfils, who peaked at No. 6 in the world rankings in 2016, has remained competitive with an 18-15 singles record this season. With his championship at Auckland in January, he became the oldest men’s titlist since 1977.

“When you love something so much, it never feels like a good time to say goodbye,” Monfils posted. “But 40 will be the right time for me. Of course, winning one more title before I’m done would be truly incredible. Truthfully though, my only real goal for the year ahead is simple.

“To enjoy every minute, and to play each match like it’s my last.”

Monfils is married to WTA Tour veteran Elina Svitolina of Ukraine.
