Asked about the All In Country Club near Lyon and the progress of the work, “Jo” is proud to be at the end of this adventure. “The bulk of the work is done, we are very happy with the turn it is taking and the speed at which it has been. We are not far from the outcome and from being able to operate the site. We are very happy and very proud of this We thought about this project for hours and hours in video during the Covid, almost 24 hours a day. Even if I’m no longer a player, I still need adrenaline and this project helped, it allowed me to make up for this lack of tennis in this year following the end of my career as a tennis player.”
“In the best of all worlds, I would say to myself ‘come on in 2 years I’m physically fine, the academy is running perfectly, I’m going back there’. I would love to resume tennis but today it’s not realistic. J stopped because physically I was really starting to pull the machine. I was starting to mortgage, in quotes, the years of life I have left. I want to enjoy my children, run with them all the time, and my joints were starting to be very affected so I didn’t have to go too far to enjoy the rest of my life.”
A year after his last professional match against Casper Ruud (6-7, 7-6, 6-2, 7-6) Porte d’Auteuil, “Jo” will make a comeback at Roland-Garros… but off the courts . “Will I be there at Roland-Garros? Yes, I will be present, but not to play, only to watch (smile). Celebrating the anniversary of Yannick Noah’s coronation is something. the only Frenchman to have won Roland-Garros at home, we are all proud and admiring of what he was able to do in the past, and still what he does today. elsewhere, but he does a lot of things here and there. I hope it will be a great celebration and that it will herald other French victories!”
