This Monday, the American Tennis Federation announced that its players Iva Jovic and Emilio Nava had received an invitation for Roland-Garros.
American guests are known. This Monday, the American Tennis Federation (USTA) indicated that its two Wild-Cards for the main draw of the next edition of Roland-Garros, which will take place between Sunday May 25 and June 8, were given to Iva Jovic and Emilio Nava. IVA JEVIC, now aged only 17, occupies 120th place in the ranking. The Californian is seen as a future big American tennis. For his part, Emilio Nava, 23, is 137th. The player is a former resident of the Juan Carlos Ferrero Academy, on the side of Villena in Spain. The two Americans, who have won the Roland-Garros Wild Card Challenge organized in recent weeks by their federation, are the first two guests known for this second Grand Chelem tournament of the year.
Gasquet, insured invitation
These invitations are possible thanks to a reciprocity agreement between the French Tennis Federation (FFT) and the USTA. The US Open has put the same thing in place for a Frenchman. The other lucky ones for Roland-Garros should be known in the coming days. The FFT must announce the list of its invited players. This is also the case of the Australian Federation, Tennis Australia, which has, like its American counterpart, a reciprocity agreement with the French. Two Australians will therefore also have the right to a Wild-Card. As for the future guests of the French Federation, in the ladies, we speak of Diane Parry (102nd), Léolia Jeanjean (104th), Chloé Paquet (138th), Elsa Jacquemot (140th), Jessika Ponchet (141st), Selena Janicijevic (203rd) and Tiantoa Rakotanga (239th). Among men, Richard Gasquet will have the right for the last tournament in his career. We are also talking about the Swiss Stan Wawrinka (40) and the French Arthur Cazaux (116th), Valentin Royer (117th), Terence Atmane (119th), Adrian Mannarino (126th), Harold Mayot (144th) or Pierre-Hughes Herbert (148th).
