Gilles Simon (French pronunciation: [ʒil si.mɔ̃];[3] born 27 December 1984) is a French former professional tennis player. He had a career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. 6 attained on 5 January 2009. He turned professional in 2002 and won 14 singles titles on the ATP Tour.
Personal life
Gilles Simon was born in Nice but grew up in Fontenay-sous-Bois, outside Paris. His nickname is "Gilou". His mother is a doctor. His father works for an insurance company. Gilles has a brother.[4][5]
Supported by his parents, he started playing tennis at the age of six.[6] Owing to a growth delay that runs in the family, he was shorter than most children of his age during his early teenage years.[7] This is the reason he cites Michael Chang as a major influence, as his comparatively small frame proved that size was not the only factor in playing tennis.[4]
Simon and his wife have two sons, born in 2010 and 2013.[5][8][9]
Simon has admitted to liking to play video games, especially Virtua Tennis, as a hobby.
