THE SPORT SCAN – After shouting “Thunasse, only for the money!” Wednesday at Wimbledon, the French tennis player made a new reference to money in the wake of his victory in the third round this Thursday.
Maxime Janvier is not satisfied. “The House ! The House !”, released the Frenchman just before the handshake with his compatriot Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, whom he beat this Thursday in the third round of Wimbledon qualifying. A way like any other to announce the destination of the money pocketed. By winning this ticket for the main draw of the British Grand Slam, the Frenchman is guaranteed to leave with a check for at least 60,000 pounds, or 71,800 euros.
This represents an increase of 50% compared to the amount which was already promised to him on Wednesday, when the native of Gouvieux (Oise) beat the American Emiliano Nava in the second round (7-6, 6-3). “For the thunasse! The money ! Only that !”, he shouted as he sent his ball into the audience. From a playing point of view, the 225th player in the world showed his advantage on the London pitch. Enough to hope to spend one or two rounds in the main draw. And in the process collect healthy sums for players ranked above 100th place in the world.
