The Frenchman played the 898th and final match of his career in front of his home crowd on Thursday, falling to Felix Auger-Aliassime at the Masters 1000 event in Paris.

The 37-year-old is hanging up his racquets following this event, but has thrilled home crowds by defeating ninth seed Taylor Fritz and Grand Slam champion Andy Murray.

Holger Rune also contributed to handing out the final pair of Turin tickets when he eliminated Hubert Hurkacz at the Paris Masters Wednesday.
