Six out of six. Of the six Frenchmen entered at Roland-Garros on Wednesday, all were eliminated. Some defeats are not illogical; we think of those of Lucas Van Assche against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, the phoenix Lucas Pouille against Cameron Norrie, or Corentin Moutet against Andrey Rublev. Others, on the other hand, are disappointment. Like that of Ugo Humbert against Lorenzo Sonego. But especially that of Caroline Garcia. Despite a good start, the world number 5, did not manage to pass the second round, beaten on the wire by the Russian Anna Blinkova.

A new disappointment for the Tricolores in the Parisian tournament... which recalls the sketch of the Unknowns entitled Stade 2 in which the comic trio mocks a French player - the misnamed Henri Toubon - who lost heavily (6-0, 6-0, 6-0) at Roland-Garros. Despite the weight of the years, this sketch has not aged a bit. We hope that it will appear a little outdated next year.
