A 37-year-old Gael Monfils is ranked #37 in the world—-a feat that not many can emulate at that age. The likes of Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka, Fabio Fognini, and Richard Gasquet are outside the Top 50.
The Spaniard has won 14 times on the red clay at Roland Garros and is likely entering his final French Open tournament this year.
The world has changed a lot since Rafael Nadal's first French Open title in 2005. Here are some trends from the time of his first victory.

Roland Garros tournament director Amelie Mauresmo declared that Alexander Zverev is considered innocent when asked about him playing at an event while on trial.
