Jeremy Schardy - France's unfulfilled hope in the big men's tennis
Successes of young tennis players in the Junior Tournourish the hopes of sports fans that, having switched to an adult tour, the athlete will also be able to climb to the top of the ATP rating. It was exactly such hopes that fans of the French tennis had about Jeremy Schardy. But the tennis player is soon thirty years old, but hopes remain unfulfilled.
The junior experience of Jeremy Schardy
At the age of seventeen, the tennis player beginstheir performances in the junior tour, and just a year later the first great successes come to the athlete. This year, he plays in the semi-final of the singles tournament at Wimbledon. And after a year comes a real success, three finals of the big helmet tournaments, and in one of them he wins. And this is just Wimbledon, a tournament on the grass. This year, Jeremy Schardy ranks third in the junior ranking for the year. It was then that he seemed to be the rising star of French tennis. But up to now these hopes have not been justified.
Since 2008, Jeremy Schardy, the ratingwhich does not fall below the first hundred, firmly takes its place on the tour. Only once in 2011, by the end of the year, he left the top 100. But recently his results are in the area of the top thirty world tennis players.
Shardi style of play
With all his successes in junior tennis,Jeremy Chardi, whose tennis is quite peculiar, did not achieve big results in the ATP. The athlete for his entire career was able to win in adult men's tennis only one title. If we talk about the physical data of this athlete, then they are ambiguous, because he has a fairly large growth, even by the standards of modern tennis, 188 centimeters. But at the same time it is easy enough, only 75 kilograms. These physical data do not allow him to have a sufficiently powerful pitch and good power endurance, which is so necessary in today's world men's tennis.
With all this, Jeremy Chardi is right-handeda tennis player who does not have a powerful first serve. Therefore, to win matches is not a force of pressure on the opponent, but a smarter game on the back line. Great successes such tactics, especially in matches to three wins, in tournaments of a grand slam Jeremy did not bring. The biggest success at such tournaments was getting into the fourth round of the tournament, and only once it was possible to win such a match and get into the quarterfinals. But stability, both on the court and in the rating, is the main advantage of this athlete.
Career Jeremy Schardy as a doubles player
Unlike many other tennis players, success inPair competitions are approximately at the same level as in the single ranking. In doubles competitions the sportsman also did not achieve dizzying success, nevertheless, constantly was in the first hundred sportsmen playing in doubles. Titles in these competitions have a little more of Shardy, as many as three. Partner usually in such competitions is Gilles Simon. The versatility of this pair allows her to perform with success in the Davis Cup. French fans expect next year new achievements of the French tennis player both in the ATP round and in the Davis Cup.
