Quentin Halys | Bio | ATP Tour

Began playing tennis at age 5, hitting with his family at their local club.
Father, Frederic, is an IT engineer; mother, Muriel, is a nurse; brother, Hugo.
Idols growing up were Roger Federer, Gael Monfils and Marat Safin.
Favourite surface is hard and shot is forehand.
Favourite tournament is Roland Garros.
If he wasn’t a tennis player, he would have liked to have played handball.
Enjoys going to the cinema, golfing and playing backgammon.
Fan of Paris Saint-Germain (football), Chicago Cubs (MLB), and Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA).
Motivation is "to play a lot of big tournaments, to play the best players in the world and to play in front of big crowds."
Big sports fan. Perfect day without tennis is playing a padel match, then a round of golf and finishing the day with a rugby match.
On transition from juniors to pros:"For me, one of the biggest challenges was staying patient and believing in yourself, after being a top junior and then losing a lot of tough matches as a professional. Even if you lose, there are positives that you can be better tomorrow and you can change things quickly in tennis."
