Jules Marie recently announced that he will play in the qualifiers at the 2024 Australian Open. Marie was Novak Djokovic’s sparring partner at the French Open in 2021 and is also a YouTuber with over 100k subscribers on his channel.
In 2015, the then 23-year-old Marie peaked at World No. 228 before retiring due to a frustrating streak of losses. Post COVID-19, he started a YouTube channel.
Despite skepticism about his career, Marie aimed for a comeback at 30, competing and winning at local tennis tournaments to improve his ATP ranking.
Now, at the age of 32, Marie is set to reach a new career-high rank of No. 226. This will see him securing a spot in the Australian Open qualifying draw in January 2024.
Jules Marie announced the news via an Instagram post on Tuesday. He stated that he has been validated for the 2024 Australian Open qualifiers and added that he will be taking his fans behind the scenes of the tournament qualifiers.
The Frenchman was elated about his dream coming true and said that his hashtag #nevertoolate now makes sense.
