Wimbledon Tennis Tournament: French Representation Crumbles, Arthur Rinderknech Being the Last French Player Standing
In a disappointing turn of events for French tennis, Arthur Rinderknech and Gael Monfils have been eliminated from the 2022 Wimbledon tournament in the third and second rounds respectively.
Arthur Rinderknech, ranked 72nd in the ATP, had a promising start to the tournament with a breakthrough victory against Alexander Zverev in the first round. However, his form faltered in subsequent matches. After a gruelling marathon match against Kamil Majchrzak, Rinderknech lost his fourth game in a row, marking the end of his participation in this year's tournament.
The match against Majchrzak, a Polish tennis player ranked 109th in the ATP, was a test of endurance, spanning over two days and concluding in three sets (6-3, 7-6 [7-4], 7-6 [8-6]) in a total of 2 hours and 46 minutes. Interestingly, this was Rinderknech's second marathon match in the tournament.
Rinderknech's early exit is a setback for French tennis, as several French players have already been eliminated from the tournament. Diane Parry, a 22-year-old French woman, also suffered a defeat, losing her third round match to Sonay Kartal. Parry led 4-1 in the first set but could not maintain her advantage, eventually losing the match 6-4, 6-2.
Gael Monfils, a 38-year-old French tennis player, lost his second round match to Marton Fucsovics in five sets. Monfils had a tough first round against Ugo Humbert, but Rublev, ranked 14th in the ATP, managed to win the match 7-5, 6-2, 6-3.
On a positive note, Adrian Mannarino, another French player, qualified for the main draw of Wimbledon. However, his journey also came to an end in the third round, as he was eliminated by Andrey Rublev.
Rublev, who had won five matches on grass at Wimbledon before this match, is now progressing further in the tournament. His impressive performance so far reflects his growing prowess on the grass courts of Wimbledon.
As the tournament continues, French tennis fans will be hoping for better results from their remaining players.
