Very early Saturday morning, Frenchman Gaël Monfils beat world number 4 Taylor Fritz to reach the round of 16.
Traditionally, the Australian Open kicks off the tennis year. Despite a few preparation tournaments from the end of December, the Australian Open is the first unmissable event for tennis stars and fans of the little yellow ball. In 2025, the year promises to be exciting with a retired Nadal, a Djokovic who will no longer play all the tournaments and new names who already seem to be crushing the circuit like Carlos Alcaraz or even Jannik Sinner, winner of his first Grand Slam in Australia last year. The French, like an imperial Gaël Monfils facing Taylor Fritz in the 3rd round (see the images below) should not be neglected and could be the nice surprise of the start of the year.

09:09 – Monfils pays Fritz
Immortal! Gaël Monfils took the scalp of Taylor Fritz, one of the favorites for this Australian Open this Saturday morning to reach the round of 16. Despite losing the first set, Monf was able to pull itself together and overthrow the American in a crazy atmosphere. Gaël Monfils had not beaten a top 5 in a Grand Slam since David Ferrer at Roland-Garros in 2008. “I had the feeling that I could move well, keep up the pace,” he smiled in the on-court interview. And I did the job! I have great belief in the fact that I can create damage and here we are in the second week of a Grand Slam!”
