Between July 2007 and October 2008, France placed up to 15 players in the World Top 100, a significant number that no other French generation has ever matched.

Among these names? Richard Gasquet, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Gaël Monfils, Gilles Simon, Fabrice Santoro, and Paul-Henri Mathieu.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
