French tennis player Gaël Monfils has announced his retirement from professional tennis following a second-round loss at the US Open to Learner Tien. 

Monfils, 40, revealed he will transition into the financial sector rather than pursuing coaching or commentary. He has signed a contract to work in asset management for a Swiss-based firm, stating, “Next year I am opening a new chapter. I am starting to work in finance.” 

The decision to retire is partly motivated by a desire to spend more time with his family in Switzerland. While his Grand Slam career has ended, he may play a few final tournaments in Lyon and Vienna before his definitive retirement in October.
