The dream of Corentin Moutet and the whole country took the time the Italian needed Jannik Sinner to fix your tennis and adapt to a warm environment at the headquarters. The Australian Open champion reacted by finding himself down a set and a break in the second, defeating the eventual French tennis player 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 and 6-1 in the men’s singles, in round of 16.
The wayward Moutet left collided with reality. After being involved in loud scandals on the courts of the ATP Tour, and even being expelled from the dynamics of the French Tennis Federation (FFT) for bad behavior, he lived a few days of sporting glory in Paris.
Roland Garros will continue to seek something new Yannick Noahchampion in 1983. In the women’s team, for Mary Piercein 2000. A result that seemed beyond the reach of the last survivor of French tennis in singles, who arrived from Moscow.
Varvara Gracheva, 23 years old and 88 in the world, left his native Russia as a teenager to pursue his career elsewhere, guided by his mother and coach.

A place where it coincided Daniel Medvedev or, more recently, the sisters Erika and Mirra Andreevawhich maintains their status in Russia.
Not so Gracheva, who was invited by her French mentor Jean-Rene Lisnard to get the new passport. He did so in 2023, by virtue of a five-year residency.
And he sang at Roland Garros Marseillaise, the French anthem, a cappella invited more than 10,000 spectators of the Suzanne Lenglen Piste. “I will remember this moment for the rest of my life, it means they accepted me, that this is my home now.”
His royal baptism was French, a language he had recently begun to master, pushed by the coaches for his better integration. She has reached the round of 16, hoping to hear the Marseillaise again against her compatriot Mirra Andreeva, the young 17-year-old student installed on the Côte d’Azur but now led by the Spanish Conchita Martinez.
