Milos Raonic recently lost to his countryman and the latest star on the circuit, Denis Shapovalov [https://www.essentiallysports.com/things-didnt-know-denis-shapovalov/] in the third round of the Madrid Open. With that win, Shapovalov moved above Raonic in the men’s rankings and is currently the highest-ranked Canadian. Now he has revealed that he will not be participating in next week’s French Open tournament. Raonic took to Twitter to announce the news. Raonic was formerly ranked in the Top 10 of the men’s rankings and his highest position was no.3. He is known for his big serves, which aid him in stretching his opponents and wearing them down to win games. It speaks volumes of his talent and giant-killing ability on court. While he may not be one of the most consistent players, he sure could give any top player a run for their money on his day. He has been a regular at all major Grand Slams and his best performance came when he reached the final of Wimbledon in 2016. He came up against home hero Andy Murray [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-5745839/Murray-left-list-wildcards-Loughborough-Challenger.html] but could not spoil his party, losing in straight sets to the Brit. Raonic has also been a semifinalist at the Australian Open in 2016 but could not progress further, losing to Murray. French Open [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/raonic-300x169.jpg]Milos Raonic Interestingly, he has never won a singles on clay courts, an evident weakness for him. All of his wins have come in hard courts. He has won 91% of his service games, which is the third-best in the history of men’s tennis. This news will come across as a disappointment for Canadian tennis fans as they could have finally seen two competitive players from their nation after a long time. Now that Raonic has pulled out, the onus is entirely on Denis Shapovalov to progress to the latter stages of the French Open. 

The current world no.22, Milos Raonic lost to Shapovalov in the Madrid Open 2
weeks back and failed to participate in the recently held Italian Open. But he
will be absent from the French Open

<h2>French Open: Latest News, Results and Records</h2>
The second Grand Slam tournament in the sport of tennis, the French Open, also known as Roland-Garros, takes place during the last week of May and the first week of June at Stade Roland-Garros, Paris. It was founded in 1891 and has been played consistently except during the times of World War I and World War II. The tournament is played on clay and consists of the regular seven rounds as each major. French Open 2022 was the 126th edition of the tournament and was played on the renovated Court Philippe Chatrier.

The surface is slow, and it is the only Grand Slam where the final set is retained to be an advantage set i.e., played without a tiebreaker. It is the most prominent court clay tournament of tennis, and the game on his surface is regarded as the most physically exhaustive forms of tennis. 
The men?s trophy, Coupe des Mousquetaires, refers to 'The Four Musketeers' of French tennis, Jean Borotra, Jacques Brugnon, Henri Cochet, and Ren? Lacoste. And the women?s trophy, Coupe Suzanne Lenglen is named after the French tennis player, Suzanne Rachel Flore Lenglen.

<h2>French Open points distribution</h2>
The French Open, also known as Roland Garros, is one of the events that offers significant prize money to the players. Apart from the lucrative prize money, the points awarded to the players who make it to latter stages also become a highly attractive prospect for both veterans and up-and-coming players.

 <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-968974" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/French-Open-4.jpg" alt="" width="1300" height="731" />

The winner of the WTA and ATP versions is awarded 2000 points. The ATP runner-up is awarded 1200, and the WTA runner-up is given 1300. The points are reduced for each player who is eliminated in rounds prior to the final. Semifinalists in ATP get 720, and WTA get 780.??

<h2>French Open prize money</h2>
Since it is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the sport, the Roland Garros offers some of the highest prize money to its winners. The prize pool last year was $36.9 million, according to ESPN. But this year saw a prominent increment of 12.3% which finalized it at $54.6 million,. As per the officials, the prize pool was increased to ensure equal distribution.

The champion of the ATP and the WTA singles division will take home a whopping $2.51 million. Runner-ups will take home $1.53 million each, almost twice that of last year. This is officially the highest prize money the French Open has ever seen.
<h2>2022 French Open champions</h2>
The 2022 French Open finals became one of the most iconic events of the year. The ATP finals saw <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rafael Nadal</a> facing Casper Ruud and emerging triumphant in three sets. Viewers were amazed as the Spaniard won the match with a score of 6-3, 6-3, 6-0. This dominant win helped Nadal lift his 14th French Open title, breaking his own record and creating history once again.

However, Gauff benefitted from the final, too, as it added enough points for her to jump to number 4 by October 2022.
<h2>Most titles won by a player at the Roland Garros</h2>
Rafael Nadal holds the record number of titles at the French Open, including the time before the Open Era. Out of the 18 French Opens he has played, the Spaniard has won it 14 times. Along with the astounding trophy haul, Nadal also holds a record of an incredible 112 wins in Roland Garros, becoming the only player to have such an overwhelming win record in one Major.?

Although Nadal has a tendency to prevail on clay, his opponents do not go down without a fight. Some of his most memorable matches on clay have come against Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and John Isner. Against Djokovic, Rafa looked at his best in 2014 and 2013. Their 2014 bout went up to five sets, and the final set saw one of his most intense performances, which saw 16 games being played. The 2013 match was the final and had Djoker as the favorite in the first set. But Nadal found his rhythm in the second set and won the tournament.

Nadal won against Federer in 2006 in four sets of 1-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-6. Federer's astounding win in the first set, along with his fiery demeanor in the fourth set, made people believe that Nadal's streak would end. However, the Spaniard gave a glimpse of his prowess in the red dirt of Paris.

All of his records at the clay major rightfully earned him the nickname 'The King of Clay'. But news of him competing in the tournament this year remains doubtful. So far, he has missed the entire clay season due to an injury. This would be a first as Nadal has never missed any French Opens in his career. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-amid-rising-doubts-over-his-return-thirty-six-year-old-rafael-nadals-badly-affected-ranking-takes-the-spotlight-as-french-open-receives-open-advice-from-american-doubles-legend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">His participation in the 2023 French Open is doubtful,</a> and it looks like his appearance record might finally come to an end this year.?
