Unusual, ATP > Feliciano Lopez puts an end to an impressive series of 79 appearances in a row in the Grand Slam

There is an end to everything. Feliciano Lopez knows this more than anyone after his defeat on Tuesday in the first qualifying round of Roland‐Garros.

Eliminated in straight sets by Italy’s Moroni (1–6, 6–7), the 40-year-old Spanish veteran, ranked 111^e world this week, will therefore not compete in an 80^e Grand Slam tournament in a row. A sad end to the series for the director of the Madrid tournament, even if he can always console himself by saying that this record of 79 main draws played in a Major rank is not ready to be beaten, especially since his pursuer , Andreas Seppi and 62 appearances in a row, was also defeated.
