Emilio Nava will receive a main draw wild card into Roland Garros because the American won the USTA's Roland Garros Wild Card Challenge.

Nava was No. 238 in the PIF ATP Rankings in March, but has enjoyed a surge in form that has helped him return to the world’s Top 150. The 23-year-old is closing on his career-high ranking of No. 137.

The American won an ATP Challenger Tour event in Sarasota and reached a final in Tallahassee to win the Challenge and the accompanying wild card. He also won two clay-court Challenger crowns in March in South America.

It All Adds Up

Ethan Quinn finished second in the Challenge, followed by Colton Smith, Christopher Eubanks and Eliot Spizzirri. Americans who earned direct entry into Roland Garros, including those who entered with a protected ranking, were not eligible.

The USTA and FFT have a reciprocal agreement in which main draw wild cards for Roland Garros and US Open in 2025 will be exchanged. The USTA utilises this Challenge format to award wild cards into the Australian Open, Roland Garros and US Open.
