Record series over. First Grand Slam tournament in 20 years without Feliciano Lopez.

Next week’s French Open will be the first Grand Slam tournament in 20 years without Feliciano Lopez.

Since the 2002 edition in Paris, the 40-year-old Spaniard had contested 79 consecutive major tournaments. After a defeat in the first round of qualifying, the record series of the left-hander, who fell back to 111th in the world rankings, is now ending.
