A Heartfelt Goodbye from Monfils
“Today, I am filled with sadness at not being able to compete in this last edition at Bercy, and even sadder it is the final one at the Palais Omnisports. My journey with Bercy is truly special. It is where I grew up, where I dreamed from the stands, reached two finals, defeated Federer for the first time, and felt the incredible energy from the crowd. I want to thank all of you, and this legendary arena that gave me so much. Farewell, Bercy. Thank you. I look forward to embarking on this new adventure in the new venue next year,” wrote the French athlete, bidding adieu to a location that has played a significant role in his career, a place that will remain etched in his memory forever.
