Just before the tournament Lyon and, of course, Roland-Garros, Gael Monfils had announced his package as well as a foot operation. We did not know the extent of the injury but obviously it was quite serious. Indeed, the current 24th player in the world was registered for the preparation tournaments of Wimbledon on the lawn of Queen’s and D’Eastbourne, but eventually forfeited. Still in the unknown as to his participation in the British Grand Slam, the French number 1 did not even wait for the draw to communicate his decision after a few days of training in Switzerland. It’s a number. “My team and I have decided not to play Wimbledon. We will gradually resume so that I am ready for Hamburg and Kiztbuhel.”, he said on his Twitter. No Blue will be seeded, a first since 1999 in Wimbledon.

Pregnant Elina, a change for Monfils’ career?
On Instagram, Elina Svitolina announced that she was pregnant. The Ukrainian and her husband Gael Monfils will therefore be parents from the month of October. They are impatiently waiting for a baby girl. This announcement explained the fact that the Ukrainian has not stepped on the courts since Miami, on March 24. The two lovers will open a new chapter in their lives. The career of Gael Monfils will also evolve. But ‘Monf‘ seems determined to come back.
