Two French players who enjoyed fantastic runs at Roland-Garros in 2020 head the list of wildcards this year
The French Tennis Federation has revealed the names of eight players invited to participate in the Roland-Garros main draw (30 May – 13 June).
In the men’s singles, Hugo Gaston, who reached the fourth round in 2020, is among those invited, along with three French players who have been making their mark on the circuit since January: Benjamin Bonzi, Arthur Rinderknech and Arthur Cazaux.
On the women’s side, Clara Burel, who reached the third round in 2020, is also invited, along with other young players, including Elsa Jacquemot, who won the junior title last October.
