He picked up a racket at two and a half. He spent 21 years making the impossible look effortless — and the impossible look fun. Now, as Gaël Monfils rides into his final season, we’re sitting down at Bardot in Berlin to celebrate the man, the myth, the Sliderman.

Whether you know him as The Entertainer, La Monf, or simply the guy who made you rewind a highlight three times just to make sure that actually happened — this one’s for you.

Allez, Gaël.
