Gael Monfils is back!
Now ranked no. 46, the Frenchman withdraw from the tour after the US Open to rehabilitate his right-knee. Gale managed to get a wildcard to play at the Qatar Open, and he repaid the organization in the best possible way winning his 7th career title.
Gael beat rising star Andrey Rublev in the final 6-2 6-3 in just over 1 our playing rather solid tennis.
I didn’t expect to win. MONFILS
After the match, Gael commented
“I had a long rest, and I’m a lot stronger for 2018. I didn’t expect to win the first tournament, but I’m happy I did.”
The Frenchman will be ranked no.40 after this tournament, and he will be unseeded at the Australian Open. He is going to be one of the most dangerous floaters at that slam.
