Monfils is the last of the "Four Musketeers", after Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Richard Gasquet and Gilles Simon, to hang up his raquet. A few hours after fellow veteran Stan Wawrinka brought the curtain down on his French Open career, the 39-year-old Monfils struggled to find his best level but persisted to give adoring supporters on Court Philippe Chatrier the marathon they wanted. I'll try to be quick and to the point," Monfils said after a tribute video on the big screen that showcased his flair on court and connection with Parisian fans.
