There is still a month and a half left for the start of the Open the Australia 2023, but it is normal that the first casualties begin to arrive. A very important one is Gael Monfils, who confessed in a recent interview that he will not travel to Melbourne to protect his ranking for the future. The Frenchman, who has not competed since last August in Montreal, needs to be unemployed for six months to use the protected ranking, which at that time was top20. Nothing to do with the one he has today with his feet outside the top50.
