Two-time Grand Slam champion Victoria Azarenka has sent a heartfelt message to Gael Monfils following the Frenchman's announcement of his retirement from professional tennis.
Azarenka, a former world No. 1, praised Monfils' unique presence on the court, writing "there is nobody quite like you" in a social media post dedicated to the 38-year-old veteran.
Monfils, known for his extraordinary athleticism and showmanship, confirmed his decision to step away from the sport on Wednesday after a career spanning more than two decades.
