No French man has won a singles Grand Slam title for 40 years and 1983 French Open champion Yannick Noah has a piece of advice for the local youngsters - pack your bags and leave the country.
Talk of a French man with the ability to claim a major crown resurfaced on Saturday when 18-year-old Arthur Fils took the Lyon title on clay, becoming the youngest player to win the tournament.
Fils could fill the void, but he should seek advice from abroad, said Noah who also won the Davis Cup as team captain. French women, however, have had more success with Amelie Mauresmo, Marion Bartoli and Mary Pierce winning Grand Slam singles titles since Noah lifted the Musketeers Cup.
