tennis player from France.[1]
Tennis career
Juniors
Di Pasquale excelled as a junior, posting a 103–25 record in singles and reaching the No. 1 ranking in December 1997 (and No. 17 in doubles). He won the boys' singles competition at the 1997 US Open (and made the semifinals of the Australian and French Open).
Di Pasquale is best known winning the bronze medal at the
2000 Summer Olympics in the men's singles event. He beat
Nicolas Kiefer,
Vladimir Voltchkov,
Juan Carlos Ferrero and rising
Roger Federer in the bronze medal match, but more surprising was his straight-sets victory over the well established
Magnus Norman of Sweden, in the tournament's third round. He also reached the fourth round of the French Open in both
1999 and
2002 and won one singles title (in
Palermo, 1999).
