 | Monfils is likely to miss the Australian Open. He wants to take advantage of the protected rating31-01-2023 |
Gael Monfils said he plans to take advantage of the protected rating in 2023. To do this, he needs to miss the Australian Open. Now the Frenchman is ranked 52nd in the ranking, but by February he will fall out of the top 200.
2023 is an important year for me, where the transition from injuries to a return to a competitive level must take place so that I can compete for entry to the 2024 Olympics in Paris. I would not want to miss the Olympic Games, they will be my last.
I hope 2024 will not be the final year of my career. I used to say that I want to play until the age of 40, but the more time I spend with my daughter, the more I think that maybe I will leave earlier.
Note that after returning to the tour, Monfils will be able to play in 12 tournaments in a protected rating (No. 20).
