Began playing tennis at age six
Nickname is Poussin, which means small
As a junior, he was inspired by Michael Chang, saying, "He showed me that you don't have to be tall in order to be a great player"
Father, Daniel, works for an insurance company while mother Mireille is a doctor
Younger brother Jean-Marie is an engineer
Favorite French player all-time is Nicolas Escude
Hobbies include video games, rollerblading and movies
Enjoys making pancakes
Considers hard courts his favorite surface and backhand his best shot
Friends on tour include fellow Frenchmen Gael Monfils, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Josselin Ouanna
If he could choose a tournament to win one day it would be Roland Garros
As a kid, always dreamed of playing on a packed center court
