Terecen Atmane has extremely “clean” blows
Bertrand Russell said that stupid people are always very confident, while intelligent people are full of doubts. It is difficult to name someone “stupid” without any deals, especially in the world of tennis. On the contrary, Târce Atmane, the poster at the Cincinnati Open in 2025, is an extremely intelligent person. His IQ, a monstrous 158, speaks for himself. A huge potential that needed Guillaume Peyre's skill, an experienced coach.
“One night, around 3:00 in the morning, I experienced some kind of paralysis. I could not move my body and I thought it was my moment. Since then I decided to fight anxiety and depression with all my powers“Said at 2023 atmas, at that time 21 years old. A young man who had already faced much more serious problems than a wasted break ball.

The period before traveling to America had been anything but something positive for the French. In February and March, he had accumulated five consecutive defeats, descending 180s in the standings. Peyre's arrival in his life (“He told me I was a beast; The way he talks to me gives me confidence“), Helped him to reborn. Two Challenger titles, Guangzhou and Busan, allowed him to return to the Top 130 in the world. An appropriate ranking to play at least in the qualifications of the most important tournaments.
Atmane entered the Cincinnati qualification tournament as a favorite 23. Three victories without losing any set to reach the main panel with a powerful service and a constant top. He defeated the American Taylor Fritz (27 years old), the world number 4.
