Gael Monfils continues to impress the audience with that mix of experience, style, gameplay, and entertainment. The Frenchman is determined to lift another title, now having a unique opportunity after reaching the final at the ATP Auckland. Gael defeated Nishesh Basaverddy to achieve an almost historic feat, as at 38 years and 4 months, he has become the second oldest player to reach an ATP final since 1990. Thus, the Frenchman is only surpassed by Ivo Karlovic (39 years and 10 months) when he reached the final in Pune in 2019.
