The Demon showed he now belongs with the world’s elite. While his Roland-Garros loss will hurt, the doors are opening for him to hit Wimbledon with a top-eight seeding.

Australia’s ascending tennis star Alex de Minaur will return to the top 10 next week even though his brilliant Roland-Garros run ended in the quarter-finals.
