From an Informed Enthusiast to a Specialist Writer
Clément Gehl is a
Tennis Writer for
TennisTemple (TT) since November 2024. It is a nice story: he began as a
passionate TT reader (2015) and gradually established himself as a
credible and committed voice in the tennis world. He has played himself since 2017 (once a week) and competes (50 official matches), for pleasure above all and without excessive pressure, with a French ranking of 30/3.
Background & Ties to Tennis
This
personal connection to tennis enriches his journalistic vision and allows him to better understand the performances of professional players. A connection reinforced by a
regular presence courtside at the biggest tournaments (
Roland-Garros, Paris Masters 1000, ATP 250 in Metz). He particularly appreciates the more intimate atmosphere of Roland-Garros qualifying, which he attends every year, and this has allowed him to build
ties with pro players. For example, he conducted an
exclusive interview with Australian John Millman (former world No. 33) in January 2025.
An Informed and Atypical View of the Tennis Ecosystem
Clément holds a
Master 2 in international commerce and strategy (2022) and a
Licence in applied foreign languages (English, German) obtained in 2020. These two degrees give him not only
excellent writing quality but also an
informed and atypical view of every aspect of the
business of professional tennis. Skills that, combined with his
tennis expertise, allow him to have a
more objective analysis of current events and to convey it perfectly to his readers.
Experience & Expertise
Clément has followed the
ATP and WTA circuits closely for more than 10 years (since 2012), as well as the major events on the calendar: the
Grand Slams, the
Masters and WTA 1000, the
ATP and WTA Finals, the
Davis Cup or the
Billie Jean King Cup. However, he is not only interested in Top 100 stars, but also in
female and male players beyond the Top 500. He is convinced that this is where
inspiring stories, intimate struggles and
forgotten human journeys can be found, and that they deserve to be highlighted.
