American Men Extend Grand Slam Drought After French Open Quarterfinals

News summary

American men Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe made history by both reaching the quarterfinals at the 2025 French Open, the first time two Americans have done so at Roland Garros since 1996. Paul, who is the only active American to reach Grand Slam quarterfinals on all three surfaces, lost decisively to world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, who dominated with a 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 victory. Tiafoe was defeated by Italy's Lorenzo Musetti in four sets, ending hopes of an all-American semifinal. This marks a continuation of a drought for American men winning Grand Slam titles, the last being Andre Agassi at the 1999 French Open. The era dominated by Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic is ending, with new stars like Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner now leading the sport. While Paul and Tiafoe showed promise by reaching the quarterfinals, the American men's quest for a major title continues amid strong international competition.
