A two-time Roland Garros finalist, Dominic Thiem will have to go through the qualifying rounds to get into the main draw at the French Open since he will not be given a wildcard.
It will be difficult for Thiem to compete in the renowned tournament after he just announced his retirement from the sport due to a recurring wrist issue.
2024 wildcards
The French tennis federation also refused to give wildcards to Emma Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion, and Simona Halep, the 2018 French Open women’s champion.
Many players received wildcards from the French tennis organization. Among them are Alize Cornet, who will be playing in her final tournament, and Alexandre Muller, a qualifier who lost in the Rome Open fourth round.
Wildcards were also awarded to Australian Adam Walton and American Nicolas Moreno de Alboran. The second Grand Slam of the season, the French Open, is scheduled to start on May 26.
