Unfortunately for French tennis, Hugo Gaston failed to bring down Dominic Thiem. Among the ladies, one of the favorites Simona H


There are no more French players in the men's table after the elimination with the honors of Frenchman Hugo Gaston by Dominic Thiem.

French

End of the dream for the French Hugo Gaston, 20, who will have pushed the Austrian Dominic Thiem to his limits (6-4, 6-4, 5-7, 3-6, 6-3).

For his first Roland-Garros, the Toulouse left-hander will not see the quarter-finals but what a journey for the 239th in the world who dismissed the Swiss Wawrinka in the previous round!

He will make a leap in the standings after the tournament by entering the top 100.

Sensation

His name is Jannick Sinner and this is the name that is rising in world tennis.

The 19-year-old Italian (world 75th) authoritatively beat the German Alexander Zverev, world number 7 and recent US Open finalist but who was playing sick.

After a 3-hour match (6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3), the Transalpin achieves the performance of becoming the first player to reach the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros for his very first participation since Nadal in 2005. That's good, he will cross the road of the Spaniard for an explanation in the quarterfinals.

Nadal, who has had four easy laps so far, all negotiated in three sets, will he have a first serious test with the Sinner sensation?

The number

2.

This is the second time that Caroline Garcia (45th worldwide) has failed in the round of 16 at Roland Garros.

This Sunday, she suffered the law of Ukrainian Elina Svitolina (6-1, 6-3).

The best performance of the French in Paris and in the Grand Slam remains a quarter-final in 2017, lost to Karolína Pliskova.
