Two Slam semifinals, both on different surfaces

Monfils reached exactly two semifinals in the data: the 2008 French Open and the 2016 US Open. Those are also his only results better than quarterfinals, making them clear career peaks in this Grand Slam record.

His best Slam run came at 21, then he waited eight years for the next one

The 2008 French Open semifinal came at age 21, his youngest deep run listed. His next semifinal did not arrive until 2016, at age 29, showing a long gap between peak-level Slam performances.

2025 was his strongest late-career Slam season

In 2025 he posted a round of 16 at the Australian Open, then reached the third round at Wimbledon and the fourth round at the French Open before a first-round exit at the US Open. That is his best four-Slam seasonal spread in the late-career rows shown.

He has been a consistent second-week threat, but rarely beyond it

Across 70 tournaments and 200 matches, his best-results line shows 8 quarterfinals and 11 round-of-16 finishes, compared with only 2 semifinals. The 130-70 record confirms a strong overall win rate, but the distribution is heavily weighted toward exits before the final weekend.

His Slam level has declined sharply after age 35

From age 35 onward, the results are mostly early exits: a quarterfinal at the 2022 Australian Open, then mostly rounds of 64 or worse in 2023-2026. The only exception is the 2025 Australian Open round of 16, standing out amid that late-career drop-off.
