"It's just crazy to be honest": Gael Monfils shocked to weather injury setbacks and still play tennis

French veteran tennis star Gael Monfils has stated that he has
no regrets as he looks back at his career. The 37-year-old is slowly but
surely moving towards the end of his career with recent results not going his
way either.
Monfils was recently quoted in a report where he stated that
he has no regrets about his playing career and feels he is rather lucky to be still
playing at the highest level.
"It’s just crazy to be honest, just crazy, to actually
still be playing,” he said. “You know, I enjoy myself even more now. I have
nothing to prove. I’ve been super lucky. It would be tough to say I have
regrets, honestly. Maybe I could have enjoyed tennis even more. It was almost
impossible for me to play. I couldn’t have the vibes, nothing."
Monfils has had an impressive career at the highest level. He
has won 12 ATP titles in his career. His latest title came in 2023 in Stockholm
where he defeated Pavel Kotov in the final in straight sets with a score of 4-6,
7-6, 6-3.
Monfils did not have a great record while playing at major
tournaments where his best outing was playing in the semifinal of the French
Open and US Open in 2008 and 2016.
