Djokovic and Monfils' longevity at the Australian Open
The Australian Open is fast approaching, with the first Grand Slam of the year less than a month away.
A competition which, as at the start of every season, will give us the first indications about the players on the circuit.
And on the men's side, two players have shown a certain longevity since their first appearance at the Australian Open.
Novak Djokovic and Gaël Monfils both played in Melbourne for the first time in 2005. Twenty years later, they will be the only two survivors to be present at the 2025 edition.
A good statistic for both men, reflecting their resilience on the circuit amongst the new generation of players.
