The elation of the 27-year-old was broadcasted for all to witness as he secured a hard-earned win over fellow Frenchman Giovanni Perricard in the qualifying rounds.
Janvier’s triumphant path at SW19 included convincing victories over Yu Hsiou Hsu and Emilio Nava, both achieved in straight sets. This marks Janvier’s inaugural appearance at Wimbledon qualifying, and his win over Perricard has automatically secured him a £40,000 prize.

Looking ahead, Janvier is set to compete against world No.42 Zhang Zhizhen. If he manages to outperform the rankings, he will secure an additional £33,000 at the least. Irrespective of the outcome, the £100,000 prize is an unquestionably significant achievement for Janvier. Fans were delighted to witness his unrestrained joy and his declaration of “La maison, la maison” (The house, the house) at match point, revealing his intentions to upgrade his home. This follows a previous victory over Nava where he enthusiastically exclaimed “money” on the court.
Despite previous participation in the French Open and appearances at the Australian Open and the US Open, this marks the first time Janvier has qualified outright for a Grand Slam event, having previously received wildcards for the French Open. His persistent determination and hard work have finally borne fruit as he successfully completed his Wimbledon qualifying campaign.
