After rediscovering the joys of a Grand Slam tournament in front of his audience, Lucas Pouille had the unpleasant surprise to learn that his home had been robbed while he was at Porte d’Auteuil. According THE Sunday newspaper, the French player’s home in Rennes was robbed on Friday, while he was playing a mixed doubles match with Chloé Paquet. The burglars stole jewelry and luxury watches, for damage estimated at 600,000 euros.
A blow for the Northerner, in the midst of a renaissance on the court. After seriously thinking about stopping his career and going through a period of depression, he offered himself a nice rebirth at Roland-Garros, passing the three qualifying rounds then the first round of the main tournament in the overflowing atmosphere of the short number 14, finally losing only to the 13th player in the world, Cameron Norrie.
