Despite having a great time in his
family life, Monfils has had a hard time on the court this year where he could
not produce any significant performance.
He played in the main round of two
out of the four Grand Slams in 2023 but failed to qualify in the third round or
beyond in any of the events.
He retired from the French Open in
the second round where he was due to face Denmark’s Holger Rune.
In the US Open, Monfils lost to Russia’s
Andrey Rublev in the round of 64 with a score of 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.
