Around the match

  • Here, I feel at home… alive! When I play in Challengers, I have that extra motivation. Here we feel at home. Everyone is really nice. I love it, the 100% tennis atmosphere, everyone is super happy… that's life!

  • I can rely on my serve, that's for sure. But I think my specialty is the one-handed backhand. I know my mother loves this shot. And me too! It excites me to finish with a winning backhand.

  • I've always loved Lyon, it makes me happy to come back every year. This is where I started hitting the ball seriously, so of course it's a place that matters to me.
