Gaël Monfils appears on ITIA retirement list, ending tournament hopes

According to the International Tennis Integrity Agency, Gaël Monfils is officially classified as retired. Players on this list are barred from entering sanctioned tournaments unless they complete a six-month period of out-of-competition anti-doping testing. The agency confirmed Monfils' new status and his loss of eligibility for competition. This development comes after Monfils had signaled a desire to play at events in Lyon and Paris. The upcoming start list for the Rolex Paris Masters will reveal whether his name will appear among the participants.
