French Tennis Player Jules Marie Falls Victim to Cruel US Open Qualifying Hoax

Posted : 22 August 2024

French tennis player Jules Marie recently fell victim to a cruel hoax. The world No. 265 received an email informing him that he had entered the qualifying draw for the US Open, only to later discover that it was a prank orchestrated by an anonymous individual. The 32-year-old was initially thrilled, as he believed he was set to participate in the tournament, but his excitement quickly turned to disappointment when he realized the truth.

 

Marie, who had previously participated in qualifiers for the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon, was told that two players would need to retire for him to enter the US Open qualifiers. He received further instructions, including details about his supposed match against fellow French player Cantin Ellis. Excited by the news, Murray shared a screenshot of the email on his Instagram account, but the responses he received soon made it clear that he had been deceived.

 

Reflecting on the incident, Marie recounted how he was approached by the tournament tour manager, who informed him that the emails were not sent by the official organizers. Initially, Marie thought it was a joke, but he soon realized that no player had retired, and the match was never scheduled. Devastated by the realization that his lifelong dream of participating in all four Grand Slam tournaments had been shattered, Marie expressed his determination to seek justice.

 

Marie announced his intention to file a complaint with the police, emphasizing the emotional toll the hoax had taken on him. He condemned the actions of the prankster, stating that such behaviour causes moral and reputational damage. Marie also hinted that the hoax might have been an act of revenge, as he expressed a strong desire to see the person responsible face consequences for their actions.
