He represented the last French chance in qualifying for the Australian Open. But Enzo Couacaud ultimately failed to afford a ticket for the final draw of the first Grand Slam of the year on Friday. In a very tight third round, he gave in two tie-breaks (7-6, 7-6) and 1h44 of play against the Serbian Nikola Milojevic, 139th in the world and seeded 15 in this table. Out of the 16 French men entered in the ladies’ and gentlemen’s tables (12 Blues and 4 Blues), none managed to extricate themselves from these qualifications.
