The Frenchman lost in the second round of the qualifying tournament at the Australian Open.
After winning his first round of the qualifying tournament for the Australian Open in two sets against Benoît Paire (7-6, 6-4), Jules Marie had launched his Oceanian adventure perfectly. But last night, the French tennis player fell on a bone.
Opposed to the Swiss Alexander Ritschard, 160th in the world, with a place in the third and final round of qualifying at stake, the Norman started his match perfectly, breaking in the first set before snatching it in the tie-break (7-3).
But his opponent recovered well, and finally won in three sets with a score of 6-7, 6-3, 6-2. No regrets for Jules Marie, who claimed on his Instagram account to have lived “a good first experience in Australia“. The one who shares his tennis adventures with his more than 111,000 subscribers on YouTube also announced that the videos resulting from this Australian interlude would be “crazy“. Enough to make his fans salivate in advance.
