Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf's daughter Jaz shares post celebrating Gael Monfils' incredible comeback win at French Open

Gael Monfils turned back the clock in fine fashion at the 2025 French Open on Tuesday (May 27), coming from two sets to love down to defeat Bolivia's Hugo Dellien in the first round. The Frenchman's display was so awe-inspiring that he earned a shoutout from Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf's daughter, Jaz.

After a good start to his 2025 season, Monfils struggled with a listless clay season, dropping three of his five matches before arriving in Paris. However, that didn't deter the 38-year-old from pulling out all the stops in his first-round encounter against World No. 90 Dellien on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

The 31-year-old Bolivian began their first-ever meeting at the French Open by taking the first two sets. The World No. 42 quickly fought back in the third set, nabbing it by a commanding scoreline of 6-1. Monfils then broke early in the fourth set but failed to serve it out at 5-3 up, before ultimately requiring a tiebreaker to push the match into a deciding set.

From that point onwards, it was one-way traffic, as Gael Monfils broke Hugo Dellien twice in the final set to eventually come through 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 7-6(4), 6-1 in a late-night thriller. The Frenchman's resilience elicited a reaction from none other than Jaz Elle Agassi, who doesn't comment much on ATP Tour tennis apart from her eight-time Major-winning father's exploits.
