Veteran players Tsonga, Simon receive French Open wild cards
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Gilles Simon have been handed wild cards to play in the main draw at the French Open, organisers said Tuesday. A former Australian Open runner-up, Tsonga announced earlier this season that he will retire after the clay-court Grand Slam event. Play begins at Roland Garros on May 22. Simon said he is retiring at the end of the season after 20 years of playing professional tennis.
