Eva Blanc is 17 years old and Tennis is in her blood. She hit her first ball in 2010, when she was only 2 and a half years old. Six years later, she was a member of the village Tennis Club.
The young girl has eight individual Lot-et-Garonne champion titles, 260 approved matches and was a volunteer at the Olympic Games, at Roland-Garros, in July. A member of the French adapted sports team for three years, she has climbed to second place on the world podium for two years and won the national title three times. In 2023, she competed in the Virtus Global Games, a prestigious sporting competition for athletes with mental disabilities or autism spectrum disorder, where she won two gold medals and one silver.
Eva has also been invited to participate in the Australian Open in January and the world championships in Kazakhstan in May. More locally, she won the FFT departmental title six times.
On clay
Schooled from kindergarten to 3e in Castelmoron-sur-Lot, she is currently in her final year of professional quality control at the Étienne-Restat high school, in Sainte-Livrade-sur-Lot. Since this year, she has been licensed at the ASPTT in Agen, where she can train on clay. Ranked 5/6, Eva hits the courts every day, with people higher ranked, and plays matches on the weekends.
To maintain her form and progress further, she can count on her brother Louis, who started playing tennis at 4 and a half years old. The young man, several times departmental champion, was also a ball boy at Roland-Garros. Ranked 3/6, he passed the Professional Qualitative Tennis Educator Certificate, which allows him to give lessons to children, adults and especially his sister, for whom he takes care of a lot. After five years of study, in August Louis took over his mother's hairdressing salon, Charly Coiffure, located on the village square.
