The Frenchman — who has twice reached the semi-finals of his home Grand Slam — says the decision has been a long time coming.

The player who wins this year’s French Open will grab a big advantage in the race to be the greatest men’s tennis player of all time with Serena Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglou admitting Novak Djokovic and not Rafael Nadal might be the man to beat by the time Roland Garros arrives.
Carlos Alcaraz has been named as one of the top "three or four players" to win the upcoming French Open, with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic the clear favourites. Alcaraz became the youngest man ever to win the Miami Open when he lifted his maiden Masters 1000 title on Sunday and is now being tipped for even bigger and better things.
A delighted Nick Kyrgios was left to celebrate a first victory on a clay court for 1055 days at ATP Houston as he overcame Mackenzie McDonald in the first round. The Australian, who has famously spoken of his disdain for the red dirt in previous years, took the win 4-6 6-3 6-4 against the American at the tournament also known as the US Men’s Clay Court Championship. Ad/> Kyrgios served up a total of 18 aces in the match to roar back from a set down while providing the fans with the entertainment they were looking for with one of his traditional tweeners.
