Monfils receives emotional Paris farewell after ending career earlier

Gaël Monfils received an emotional farewell at the Paris Masters, where fellow French players joined him on court to mark the end of his 22-year career. Though he had planned to retire after one final appearance in Paris, he had quietly ended his career the previous month amid his separation from Elina Svitolina. Monfils thanked fans for helping make his career a dream come true and dedicated a personal message to his daughter, Skai, saying he hoped she would one day play in Paris. Known for his athleticism and showmanship, he won 13 ATP Tour singles titles.
