The 33-year-old Frenchman is currently ranked World No. 9. Monfils reached the final in Stuttgart 10 years ago, when the event was still held on clay.

“Stuttgart is a very special tournament with a special flair, so I always enjoy coming back there. A title win at the MercedesCup would be extremely important to me,” Monfils stated in a press release.
