ATPThursday, 10 August 2023 at 09:00
French tennis star Gael Monfils has joined an elite club of players
with 350 or more wins on the ATP tour.
The 36-year-old has struggled with form recently and results have not gone his way.
However, Monfils has joined the list of active players
with 350 or more wins on the ATP Tour.
He cemented his place on the ladder after defeating Greece’s
Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round of the Omnium Banque Nationale Canadian
Open with a score of 6-4, 6-3.
The list featured the likes of the 23-time Grand Slam winner
world number two Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, 22-time majors winner Spain’s Rafael
Nadal, former world number one Britain’s Andy Murray, 2014 US Open winner Marin
Cilic, fellow French player Richard Gasquet and John Isner.

Monfils achievement is also a special one as he is one of
the three players on that list who won 350 or more matches on the ATP tour without
ever winning a Grand Slam. The other two were Gasquet and Isner.
The Paris-born will be hoping that he will continue his form
and produce the goods in the upcoming US Open which is set to begin in less
than a month’s time.
Monfils will now face Australia’s Aleksandar Vukic in the
third round of the competition on Thursday.

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026

- One of the most amazing comebacks in a long, long time. It happens (and Keys shouldn't lose her crackers over this). If Madison starts playing Dress-up and walking out on court like some fantasy character with a Mental Problem... then she should really start worrying!mandoist06-09-2026
