Jules Hypolite

Background & connection to tennis



Jules Hypolite has been a tennis journalist and editor at TennisTemple since October 2024. A passionate follower of the game for more than 15 years, he covers the ATP & WTA tours on a daily basis, as well as the Challengers, the WTA 125 and the ITF circuits, bringing a technical perspective shaped on court, at his club, where he has played tennis since the age of 6 (2005).


First-hand knowledge of the game



Jules has also competed in tournaments (100 official matches). This gives him an informed perspective on the challenge of managing the physical and mental demands created by competitive pressure. It is a dimension he brings to his analysis, allowing him to better understand the experience of top-level players on the professional tour throughout the season.


Education & expertise



A graduate of the Institut Européen de Journalisme in Paris (2017-2020), he has covered professional tennis for more than 6 years (since 2019) in all its breadth: Grand Slams, Masters 1000, WTA 1000, the Davis Cup, the Billie Jean King Cup, as well as ATP/WTA 500 and ATP/WTA 250 tournaments. His editorial approach is built on journalistic rigor, analysis of performances, responsiveness to breaking news, and decoding the statements made by players on the tour.

Jules has a particular fondness for historical retrospectives, bringing the greatest moments of world tennis back to life for readers.


Experience in tennis and sports journalism



Before joining TennisTemple, he contributed to specialized media outlets such as WeLoveTennis (2019), as well as other leading sports media including Onze Mondial (2019-2021) and Parlons Basket (2018-2019).

Kyrgios pulls out of US Open...🤣
