Gael Monfils Listed as Retired by ITIA, Ending Tennis Career Before Planned Farewell
French tennis player Gael Monfils, aged 40, has effectively retired from professional tennis after being listed as 'inactive' by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) on October 5. Originally planning to retire after the 2026 season with a final appearance at the Paris Masters, Monfils withdrew from an exhibition in Lyon and is now ineligible to compete without undergoing six months of anti-doping testing. He concluded his career with 13 ATP titles, a peak ranking of world No. 6, and Grand Slam semifinals at the French Open and US Open. Post-retirement, Monfils plans to pursue a career in wealth management.
