I buy my clothes like everyone else," the atypical situation of Atmane, Cincinnati semifinalist without a sponsor

Frenchman Terence Atmane has been the big surprise of the Cincinnati Masters 1000.

Coming through qualifying, the French player just reached the semifinals after defeating Taylor Fritz and Holger Rune along the way.

Before facing world No. 1 Jannik Sinner tomorrow, the 23-year-old spoke to L'Equipe about playing without any sponsors:

"I have no sponsors except Tecnifibre for rackets. Last year, I got dropped by Asics. Since then, I buy my clothes like everyone else, same for shoes. I don’t have an agent, I handle everything on my own.
