Among the Blues, still no big name but reasons for hope
As in recent seasons, the 2023 results appear to be very mixed for French tennis. Its main headliner, Caroline Garcia, was unable to surf on her breathtaking end to the year 2022.
Apart from the Lyonnaise in Melbourne, no Tricolore has managed to reach the round of 16 in a Grand Slam. And for the second consecutive edition, the Roland-Garros table was deserted by the locals at the end of the second round…
From then on, the thesis of the accident no longer holds. Particularly among the ladies, where the next generation is struggling to emerge behind the 20e world player, despite the naturalization of Varvara Gracheva (43e) and the rise to power of Clara Burel, who ends the year 60ehis best career ranking.
These gentlemen saved their honor by winning several tournaments in the 250 category. The prize goes to Adrian Mannarino, titled three times in Newport, Astana and Sofia. Veterans Richard Gasquet (Auckland) and Gaël Monfils (Stockholm) are hanging on, while Arthur Fils tasted the scent of victory in Lyon and Ugo Humbert triumphed at home in Metz.
At the cost of a significant rise, Lorrain has never been so well ranked (20e) and will have to assume its new status as French number one. Just behind, “Mana” is still there (22e) and Son, already 36e at only 19 years old, has undoubtedly not yet expressed his full potential. This trio will be expected around the corner in 2024, starting next month in Australia, to make France shine once again in the biggest tournaments on the planet.
