Marc Gicquel was born on March 30, 1977 in Tunis, Tunisia. He is a tennis player who now (2007) resides in Boulogne-Billancourt, France.

Biography and Career :

R. Gilbert and J. Potier, his coaches, are the two persons who take care of his training and tournaments. 1999 is the year when he became a professional tennis player. He hasn’t won any ATP single or doubles tournaments yet or any Grand Slam tournaments. He earned almost one million dollars until now just from tennis.

In April 2007 he was ranked on the thirty-eight position in Top 100 and this is the highest position he has ever reached. He was involved in an unforgettable moment after he was hit by a ball sent directly in the genitals by a 129mph Benjamin Becker serve. Of course that Becker didn't mean to hurt him, it was just an accident, but because of it he had to retire in the next match versus Jarkko Nieminen. The event took place at the Halle tournament in 2007.

In 2006 he managed to reach the final of the tournament in Lyon, but unfortunately he lost to Richard Gasquet. Another final was reached this time at Gstaad in 2007 as a doubles player, but he lost again. His opponents in the final were Cermak and Vizner.

In 2006 he played into the fourth round at the US Open. This is the best performance of him at a Grand Slam event. The second round was played in 2006 at the French Open and in 2007 at the Australian Open, but after this he was eliminated. We wish him good luck and hope he will win tournaments very soon.
