Monfils’ return to the court is a much-needed boost for the tennis fraternity, as he is one of the most talented players in the circuit. His presence in the UTS tournament is expected to raise the level of competition and make for an exciting tournament.

In a recent interview with Tennis Major, he spoke about the same. He said, “It has been an amazing month for me, watching my wife do fantastic, and I have had quality time with my daughter as well, so you know I’m just full of energy and really want to do well during this tour.”
