MY STORY

1999
Tennis is my entire life.
I started playing on tennis courts at 8 years old.
I dreamed of becoming a professional player…

Then in 2011, at 20 years old, I finally made my dream come true by joining the international tour.

2011-2015
To sum up my career in a few notes :
• I rose up to 228th on the ATP Tour in 2015
• I was the 29th French Player.

Unfortunatley, in 2015, despite a couple positive results on the ATP Tour…
I made the decision to retire, not being able to financially sustain the expenses of a full year on the international tour.

I then decided to start playing on the Circuit National des Grands Tournois - FFT

For the next 5 years, I won 12 times against players from the ATP Top 100, such as Benoît Paire, Robredo, Barrère, Lucas Pouille, Goffin and Humbert

While playing professionally throughout those years, I was also a registered tennis coach in France.

In 2020, I started my YouTube channel to share my daily life as a professional player, but also to inspire and train thousands of players throughout France. 😄

And in december 2021, I won the Open de Caen, after beating players such as Lucas Pouille, David Goffin and Ugo Humbert in the final. 💪🏅

2022
It was at that moment the most ambitious idea of my entire career started growing : Coming back on the ATP Tour after a 7 year pause, despite being over 30 years old.

The truth is, this time, it's not only about winning for myself…
It's about showing all of the players following me and trusting me that it is never too late to fulfill your dreams.
