Gael Monfils to miss 2022 United States Open with a foot injury

According to Kamakshi Tandon of tennis.com on Thursday, two-time grand slam semifinalist Gael Monfils of Paris, France will miss the 2022 United States Open with a foot injury. Monfils suffered the injury in the third round of the National Bank Open in Montreal. At the time Monfils lost the first set 6-2 to Jack Draper of Great Britain, and then was leading the second set 2-0.

Prior to facing Draper, Monfils beat Pedro Martinez of Spain 7-6, 3-6, 6-2 in the first round, and then American Maxime Cressy 7-6, 7-6 in the second round. Like Monfils, Cressy was born in Paris but represents the stars and stripes because his mother is from Chicago.

Monfils’s most notable result in 2022 came at the Australian Open in January. There he beat Federico Coria of Argentina 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 in the first round, Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan 6-1, 6-0, 6-4 in the second round, Cristian Garin of Chile, 7-6, 6-1, 6-3 in the the third round, and Miomir Kecmanovic of Serbia 7-5, 7-6, 6-3 in the fourth round, before losing to the seventh seed and 2021 Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini of Italy, 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 3-6, 6-2 in the quarterfinals.

Monfils’s two grand slam semifinals happened at the 2008 French Open and the 2016 United States Open. In 2008, he lost to Roger Federer of Switzerland, the 20-time grand slam champion, in the final four of the only major of clay. Then eight years later Monfils lost to 21-time grand slam champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia in the final four of the final grand slam event of the calendar year. It should be noted that Monfils’s wife, Evitlina Svitolina of Ukraine, is not playing at the moment because she is pregnant.
