Gael Monfils appeared at a press conference for the ATP 250 Marseille 2025 visibly sad about having to withdraw from the tournament due to a muscle tear in his right quadriceps, but explained the need to make this decision to prevent further complications. "At my age, a significant injury could mean the end of my career, so I am forced to skip this event. I will travel to Doha to see if I can recover in time," he stated.
