As the No. 14 seed in the men's singles of this year's French Open, after eliminating Jarry 3-1 in the first round, he faced Spain's Munar in the second round, almost winning two and losing three.
In the second round of the Men's Singles, Fez played very hard in the first two sets, taking the score to 2-0 with a narrow advantage of two tie-breaks, and then Munar adjusted his form to level the aggregate score to 2-2 6-2.
In the deciding set, it was Fez who had the last laugh, and although Munar held the lead for a while, he was unable to score consistently, and eventually lost the match 2-3, missing out on reaching the last 32 of men's singles for the first time in his career, and the two also used a medical timeout in the match.
"He's been treated by the doctor for a back injury, but I'm sure he's just cramping, but if it's just a cramp, he can't be treated, and if he does, he can't play the fifth set like that, because I've had cramps a lot in my career and I've suffered from it, so it's clear what happened."
Apparently the loser Munar was not happy with Fes's medical timeout during the match, but after advancing to the last 32 of the Men's Singles, Fez withdrew from the third round due to injury, and his original opponent Rublev advanced to the last 16 of the Men's Singles without a fight, where he will face the winner of top seeds Sinner and Lehechka for a place in the quarter-finals.
Looking at the men's singles lineup of this year's French Open, the French men's players are led by Fes, Amber is second as the No. 22 seed, and the other players are [31] Perricar, Lindknecht, Miller, Bonzi, Monfils, Mute, Aris, Gaston, [Q] Tabil, [Q] Jacay, [Q] Blanchet, [W] Atmana, [W] Gasquet, [W] Ebel, [W] Royer, [W] Cazo.
Of the 128 signings in the men's singles, players from France accounted for 18 of the quotas, and of course, in addition to the players who qualified for the main draw by virtue of their world rankings, the French Open Organizing Committee also gave most of the wild cards to local men's players.
Among them, Gasquet's name is particularly eye-catching, and the 38-year-old French veteran officially announced his retirement after losing 0-3 to world No. 1 Sinner in the first round, ending his 23-year career.
Simon, Tsonga, Gasquet and Monfils, who were once known as the "French Men's Four Musketeers", were also the only ones left, and after beating Derian in the first round of this French Open, he lost to fifth seed Draper in the second round in four sets.(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
