An Exemplary Course on the Court
Paul-Henri Mathieu, a true French tennis legend, made history with his performances on the court. With an impressive professional career, he played in 16 editions of the Roland-Garros Tournament, reaching the Round of 16 in 2002 in only his second participation, where he lost against André Agassi (world No. 4) in 5 sets! His mastery of the clay-court game and his powerful playing style have captivated fans over the world.
An impressive track record
Paul-Henri Mathieu’s track record includes several ATP titles, highlighting his consistency and determination. He has won four singles titles and three doubles titles during his career. Highlights include the fact that he was the last player to defeat the American Pete Sampras, holder of 14 Grand Slam titles, and the Brazilian legend Gustavo Kuerten in the last match of his career at Roland-Garros in 2008. He also holds the record for the longest Grand Slam match lasting 4 sets, thanks to his battle with the great Rafael Nadal, also at Roland-Garros in 2006. His tenacity on the court and his commitment to excellence have made him an internationally recognized player.
