Five-time Grand Slam champion in doubles, having completed the career Grand Slam with victories at the 2015 US Open, 2016 Wimbledon Championships, 2018 French Open, and 2019 Australian Open, all partnering Pierre-Hugues Herbert, Nicolas is the most successful French Tennis Player in history. He also famously played in the longest match of all time against John Isner in the first round of the men’s singles at the 2010 Wimbledon, which lasted 665 minutes spread out over three days.

He’s proudly wearing the Foundation’s logo on his jersey during his matches to raise awareness around the proliferation of violence against women.
