The two new Mousquetaires in 2021, when whey were 16 and 17. (FFT)
–
Plenty of local content in Bercy on Wednesday, including the rising stars Arthur Fils (just 20) and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (21).
Also – No. 3 seed Alexander Zverev and No. 4 Daniil Medvedev entered the fray, even as top seed and world No. 1 Jannik Sinner was a late scratch.
Arthur Cazaux got Sinner’s spot in the draw – straight to the second round. But it won’t do him much good, points-wise, unless he could actually win his second-round match against Ben Shelton. Which he did.
In all, the French had themselves a day.
