Monteiro with problems
Thiago Monteiro was number 61 in the world last fall, but has now slipped to 98th place. The Brazilian only reached a quarterfinal at the clay court tournament in Santiago de Chile, otherwise it was always over in round two at the latest. Here in Paris, the 28-year-old achieved his best result of 2020 when he advanced to the third round. This is also his best performance in a Grand Slam to date.

Hanfmann in the shape of his life
Yannick Hanfmann has really come up trumps in the last few weeks. Although he started the tournament as a qualifier, he was able to reach the semifinals at the ATP tournament in Houston and the third round at the Masters in Madrid. At the Masters in Rome, the 31-year-old even went one better and only failed in the quarter-finals against eventual champion Daniil Medvedev. With rank 64, the Karlsruher recently achieved a new career record in the ranking, he is currently ranked 65th. Meanwhile, Hanfmann only slipped into the main field of the French Open with luck. After he was clearly inferior to Elias Ymer of Sweden in the third and decisive qualifying match, the German subsequently moved up as a lucky loser.
