He's not just a fan favourite, he is also a player that is quite popular amongst other players for his unique personality and good-hearted nature. Monfils carved out a very good career for himself and his on-court stuff have been an inspiration to many tennis players. Players such as Frances Tiafoe openly admitted to looking up to Monfils as young and one of those players is Thiago Monteiro as well.
After Monfils retired from his match against Monteiro the Brazilian took to Twitter to send a special message for him. He said:
“Always a pleasure do share the court with Gael Monfils, true legend and inspiration. Wishing a fast recovery and see you in Melbourne.”
