The astonishing reconversion planned by Gaël Monfils after his career in Tennis

At 38, Gaël Monfils is approaching the end of his career and is already preparing for the future. On the sidelines of the Australian Open, the French veteran indulged in a little post-Tennis indiscretion. With a surprising preference for his reconversion.

We knew his geeky side with his Magic games or his Call of Duty streams, we knew him as a dad with his daughter Skaï, we also knew his entrepreneurial and connected side thanks to his channels on Twitch and YouTube. But Gaël Monfils never ceases to surprise at 38 years old. Before his third round at the Australian Open and this immense challenge against Taylor Fritz, fourth in the world, the Frenchman also seems to be passionate about financing and investments. To the point of considering making it his daily life after his retirement from sports.

“I will always do sport,” explained the current 41st in the ATP ranking during an interview this week with the newspaper L’Equipe. “I will work. I think it will be in a private bank. I will do my sport quietly, with my friends. I am sporty at heart.”

“Being an asset manager”

Still capable of competing with the best in the world and spared from problems at the start of 2025, Gaël Monfils remains on a title in Auckland and two fine duels in Melbourne against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Daniel Altmaier. But obviously that doesn't stop him from preparing for the future. His recent comments in the press thus confirmed those he had already made at the end of December on social networks.

“I know more or less what I want to do, I've already talked about it a little, I want to work in finance. Maybe work for a private bank. It's something that I “I'm interested in being an asset manager”, Gaël Monfils then indicated in a video published on his YouTube channel. “It’s something that attracts me. And why not also work for a brand and help with sponsorship relationships. We’ll say that that’s something that could also tempt me.”

Before concluding on his retraining plans: “Also staying a little bit in multimedia, I really like multimedia. Here are a few of the ideas that I have in mind and I hope to find my way in all these ideas. “
