The Paris-born player stated, “I don’t know if it’s a secret, but I guess is a lot of work, a lot of belief, strong mindset, you know, coming up this new season, you know, and just want to be better in 2022 than 2021. Of course a bit of luck with everything. I’m not finished yet.”

Hard work is paying off 

During the off-season, Gael was training hard and concentrated on maintaining a strong mindset. He does accept that he has had luck on his side but has worked hard since the end of last season. The former World No. 6 mentioned that he is far from done at the moment.

Everyone remembers last year when Gael Monfils lost to Matteo Berrettini 4-6, 2-6 in the ATP Cup group stage. Turns out he has come very far after that setback.

The 35-year-old added, “To be honest, (it’s) just like hard work. As I say, last year at the end of the season, I was feeling great, feeling better. I was very close, and I think at the beginning just like keep, as I said, believe and working hard, and I was a little bit more luck at the beginning of the season, and so far, you know, so good.”
