The French players' report card at Roland-Garros 2026

Roland-Garros 2026 will be remembered as a difficult tournament for French tennis. Arthur Rinderknech ended up as the best-placed Frenchman, falling in the second round to Italy's Matteo Berrettini.

Fils withdraws before the first round

A tough blow for the home crowd: Arthur Fils, who had put together a strong clay-court season, was forced to withdraw through injury before the tournament even began, robbing Parisian fans of one of their brightest hopes.

Early exits across the board

Ugo Humbert and Corentin Moutet also exited in the early rounds, confirming an overall disappointing showing for the French players on home soil.
