Gilles Moretton re-elected as president of the French Tennis Federation

Having started too far and benefiting from too timid support among high-level players (only Jérémy Chardy having spoken clearly in his favor), Roesch will not have been able to capitalize on the turbulence which marked the first four years of office. of the outgoing president. Which was based on the increase in licensees (+ 23%, from 950,000 to 1,170,000), broad financial support for clubs, an increase of 64% (from €20 million to €33 million), or the diversification of racquet sports (urban Tennis, beach tennis, padel and, recently, pickleball) to sweep away doubts among voters. His last “campaign coup”, with the appointment of his classmate Yannick Noah to the position of paratennis coordinator within the FFT, less than three weeks before the election, will undoubtedly not have been insignificant either.
