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.
