Edouard Roger-Vasselin
The first winner of the Deauville Trouville Open is back for the 2019 edition! He will try this year to cross the stage of the semi-finals where he had failed during the previous edition.
Born in 1983 in Gennevilliers, Edouard Roger Vasselin is the son of Christophe Roger Vasselin, also a professional tennis player, semi-finalist at Roland Garros in 1983 against Yannick Noah. He was crowned champion of France 17-18 years in 2001 and triple champion of France in team from 2004 to 2006.
After an honorable career in singles that began in 2007 (1st match on the ATP circuit), Édouard Roger-Vasselin has been fully dedicated to doubles since 2017. He has set high goals for himself: to win Roland Garros for the second time this year and to participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.
A true doubles specialist, he is currently ranked 27th in the world, which is close to his best ranking of 2014 (6th). During his career, Édouard Roger-Vasselin has won 17 ATP titles, all in doubles, including the 2014 edition of Roland Garros alongside Julien Benneteau. He also reached the Wimbledon final in 2016 with the same partner.
He will try to recover his trophy and will take the opportunity to prepare for the Queen's and Wimbledon, which he will play in doubles.
