Two-time finalist Dominic Thiem missed out on a French Open wildcard on Tuesday, consigning the former US Open champion to a battle through qualifying to reach the main draw at Roland Garros. The 30-year-old Austrian announced last week he was retiring at the end of the season after a career plagued by a long-term wrist injury. The 2018 French Open women's champion Simona Halep and Britain's 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu were also overlooked by the French tennis federation.
Daniil Medvedev continued his Rome title defence with Monday's hard-fought 7-6 (7/5), 2-6, 7-5 win over qualifier Hamad Medjedovic as the men's tournament was left wide open by big-name exits, the latest being fourth seed Andrey Rublev. Russian Medvedev will face Tommy Paul in the last 16 at the Foro Italico on Tuesday after battling past Next Gen champion Medjedovic in a gruelling clash of big hitters.
