Jo-Wilfried Tsongsa will retire after the 2022 French Open

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will call it quits on his career after the 2022 French Open

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will have his swansong at the French Open this year. The 37-year-old reached the semifinals of the tournament twice, in 2013 and 2015. Last year, he exited the French Open in the first round after losing to Yoshihito Nishioka.

Gilles Simon will also compete at the Paris Major for one last time as he announced earlier this month that he will retire at the end of the 2022 season.

The 37-year-old has competed at the French Open almost every year since debuting in 2005. His best performances at the Grand Slam came in 2011, 2013 and 2015, when he made the fourth round. The closest he came to reaching the quarterfinals was in 2013 when he pushed Roger Federer to five sets.

Last year, Simon suffered a first-round exit at the French Open, losing to Marton Fucsovics.
