At 38 years old, what place does Monfils hold in the history of the oldest players in Miami?

Gaël Monfils qualified for the second round of the Miami Masters 1000 by defeating Fabian Marozsan in three sets (6-3, 3-6, 6-4).

Still competitive at 38 years old and ranked 46th in the world, the Frenchman has made history in the tournament.

Indeed, "Jeu, Set et Maths" revealed the ranking of the oldest players at the time of winning a match in Miami (1990-2025).

Connors takes the top spot (39 years and 190 days in 1992), followed by Monfils (38 years and 199 days in 2025), Connors again (38 years and 192 days in 1991), and finally Karlovic (38 years and 19 days in 2017).

In the second round, the Frenchman will face Jiri Lehecka, ranked 27th in the world and exempt from the first round due to his seeded status.

A quarterfinalist in 2016, 'La Monf' hopes to extend his adventure in Florida.
