The former player, ex‐37 in the world, three times finalist on the ATP circuit, finds that Jules Marie’s adventure as an influencer is innovative but that it can also raise questions.
« Make no mistake about my intentions. I simply find that asking for support via pots by explaining that a year on the circuit represents approximately more than 150,000 euros, it’s a bit excessive. This is a lot of money compared to traditional fees. So there are things that bother me in Jules Marie’s approach. Afterwards, I am also aware that his videos have a cost and I do not question their quality. His approach of showing behind the scenes is clearly interesting for enthusiasts. I’m just saying that a season on this circuit does not cost that price. On the other hand, it’s good to have a high goal, but to reach the cut for the qualifications for Roland‐Garros when you are 500th October is not easy, and above all it is not simply a question of financial means. I would have been him, I would have especially sought to inflate my team with a coach, because to progress it is often a good solution “
