Only one Frenchman in the third round of Roland-Garros: a first since 2010 – Roland-Garros (H) – Bleus

We must indeed go back to 2010 to find such a dearth. At the time, Richard Gasquet had stuck with Andy Murray in the first round and Gaël Monfils had lost an epic match against Fabio Fognini. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was therefore found alone and he had abandoned in the eighth against Youzhny …

This shortage is even very rare since the beginning of the Open era. In 1995, only Arnaud Boetsch ended up in the third round, where he lost to Alex Corretja, then 21 years old. In 1993, the last survivor was called Rodolphe Gilbert and he had failed at this stage against Slava Dosedel. Finally, in 1969, Georges Goven lost in the third round against Tom Okker.
