Welcome to the French Open. This is the first time three French players are in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam event since the 1947 French Open. 10 Monfils beat Marcos Baghdatis of Cypress, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3, and No. 9 Tsonga eliminated the final American on the men’s side, Jack Sock, 6-3, 6-3, 6-7 (7), 6-2. Not as easy to dismiss was the relatively routine forehand Nadal missed at 6-6 in the fifth-set tiebreak.
