Reunion Island native Benjamin Simonet, better known as Bensimshot, is the best French tennis freestyler of his generation.

With a tennis teacher father, he grew up with a passion for the racket, but quickly revealed his tennis identity through trick shots, which he showcases in videos on social media.

He explains that freestyle is "something that corresponds to his tennis identity, that of putting on a show, more than actually playing tennis."

Now based in Marseille, he travels to numerous events and collaborates with major brands, including our partner ENGIE, with whom he created the "The Best of Energy" campaign for Roland Garros in 2023.

For this 21st edition of the ENGIE Biarritz Open, Bensimshot will be putting on a show during the tournament's final stages!
