REUTERS: For the first time in four years the big three in men's tennis will all be present at the French Open, all striving to etch another remarkable storyline in the red Parisian dirt.
As befitting this old city steeped in stories for the ages, the plotlines at this year's tournament run far deeper than the ambitions of the central characters. Throw in rejuvenated former champion Stan Wawrinka, the one-man circus that is Australian Nick Kyrgios and the mercurial Italian Fabio Fognini and the next fortnight is unmissable.
"I think he is peaking involuntarily, and he has going to be so much better come the quarter-finals or semi-finals than he is now," former champion Mats Wilander, working as an analyst for Eurosport https://www.eurosportplayer.com/denied.html?utm_campaign=player-england-prospect-tennis-australianopen&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pr.com&utm_content=text-prcom-prcom-id1 told Reuters.
A quarter-final exit sparked a dramatic return to his best though and the Serb went on to win Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and this year's Australian Open, taking his Grand Slam haul to 15.
