Monfils joins players with 350+ wins on hard courts after Tsitsipas Toronto takedown

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.
