Profile & career

One of the most consistent French players of his generation.

Jérémy Chardy was one of the most consistent French players of his generation, just behind the Monfils, Tsonga, Gasquet and Simon quartet. He peaked at world No. 25 in 2013, won an ATP title and claimed an unforgettable victory over Roger Federer at the Rome Masters 1000. Blessed with a big serve and an exceptional forehand, he was coached by Patrick Mouratoglou in 2012.

He played his first professional match at 15, in September 2002, at the Bagnères-de-Bigorre Futures event, losing to Cyril Mokaiesh. He made his main-tour debut less than four years later, in May 2006: ranked 522nd, he beat world No. 87 Jimmy Wang on the Estoril clay before falling to world No. 4 David Nalbandian 6-1, 7-6 (0).

His career lasted until 2023, when he was 36, and ended with a prestigious first-round match on Wimbledon's Centre Court against world No. 1 and eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz. He now coaches Ugo Humbert, works as player coordinator for UTS and directs the Challenger tournament he launched in his home town of Pau in 2019.

Did you know?After his long career on the ATP Tour, he became Ugo Humbert's coach.

CAREER

His ATP title.

Chardy first caught the public eye at Roland-Garros in 2008: aged 21, a wildcard ranked 145th, he beat world No. 7 David Nalbandian in the second round and then world No. 33 Dmitry Tursunov, before his run ended against world No. 20 Nicolás Almagro in his first Grand Slam last 16. He reached the same stage at Wimbledon in 2014 (beaten by Marin Čilić) and Roland-Garros in 2015 (stopped by Andy Murray), and played a quarter-final at the 2013 Australian Open, again lost to Murray, after beating world No. 7 Juan Martín del Potro in five sets in the third round. That run took him to his best ranking, 25th, at the end of January 2013. He won 12 matches against top-10 players, four of them against a world No. 4: Andy Murray in Cincinnati in 2012, Roger Federer in Rome in 2014, his only win over one of the Big Three, Grigor Dimitrov in Miami in 2018 and Daniil Medvedev at Paris-Bercy in 2019. He also reached the semi-finals of the Montreal Masters 1000 in 2015, losing to Novak Djokovic. After entering the top 100 in July 2008, he left it only briefly in 2011 and 2012 until November 2021. A right knee operation and, by his own account, a bad reaction to the Covid vaccine then kept him off the courts for a year and four months after the Tokyo Olympics, where he reached the singles quarter-finals: after the 2021 US Open he did not compete again until the 2023 Australian Open. His only ATP title came on the Stuttgart clay in 2009, with a 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Victor Hănescu in the final; he also reached the finals in Johannesburg in 2009 (lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga) and 's-Hertogenbosch in 2018 (lost to Richard Gasquet). In doubles he won seven titles and reached the 2019 Roland-Garros final with his friend Fabrice Martin. With France, he played the 2018 Davis Cup final against Croatia in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, losing the opening singles to Borna Ćorić.

Junior career

Won the Wimbledon junior title against Robin Haase and reached the US Open junior final, lost to Ryan Sweeting after beating Marin Čilić in the quarter-finals. He rose to world junior No. 3 and turned professional the same year.

MOURATOGLOU ACADEMY

His link with the Mouratoglou Academy.

Jérémy Chardy has built a long relationship of trust with the Mouratoglou Academy. Coached by Patrick Mouratoglou in 2012, he stayed close to the academy afterwards and continued to train there regularly. In 2016 he even took on a role as mental coach for the young players.

In 2023 he became the first professional player to be dressed and sponsored by the Mouratoglou Apparel brand on the tour. He is now actively involved in developing the UTS circuit and comes to the academy with Ugo Humbert.

GAME & EQUIPMENT

How Jérémy plays.

His game

A big serve and a big forehand: you only had to watch Jérémy Chardy play once to understand his technical profile. On his good days his ball was extremely hard to handle at the start of the rally, smothering his opponents and putting them under pressure on their own serve. His height and power made him a formidable hitter.

His equipment

After playing with a Head MicroGEL Radical pro stock, he switched at the end of 2014 to a Tecnifibre TFight DC 305, which he used until the end of his career, strung with Luxilon Alu Power in 16L gauge (1.25 mm).

Train in the gear of the Academy: rackets, apparel and accessories.

OFF THE COURT

Personal life & interests.

Jérémy Chardy lives in London with his family. Married to Suzanne since 2017, he became the father of a baby boy in 2020. A PSG fan, he is known for his joviality and the big smile he wears in TV appearances and interviews, a charm that surely helped make him “the most handsome player on the tour” in the eyes of Roger Federer, with whom he gets on very well off the court. That friendship led to his taking part in the 2018 Laver Cup as a reserve for Team Europe. A sign of how much his peers value him, he was elected to the ATP Player Council in 2020.
