The Monaco tennis community is mourning the loss of Jérôme Seguin, a former Davis Cup player and longstanding teaching professional at the Monte-Carlo Country Club, whose dedication to the sport extended well beyond the tennis court…
Seguin represented the Principality in the Davis Cup between 1989 and 1993, competing in nine ties and recording ten victories across singles and doubles. His international experience would later become an important part of his work nurturing players at the Monte-Carlo Country Club.
A familiar and respected figure at the club, Seguin devoted much of his professional life to coaching, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with successive generations of tennis enthusiasts.

His contribution also extended to charitable initiatives. In 2014, he established the Monte-Carlo Classic, a vintage tennis tournament supporting Special Olympics Monaco. The following year’s event raised €15,000 to help athletes with disabilities participate in sporting activities.
Through his coaching, competitive achievements and charitable involvement, Seguin played a meaningful role in Monaco’s close-knit tennis community.
His passing marks the loss of a familiar presence at one of the Principality’s most celebrated sporting institutions, where his contribution to the game will be remembered with affection.
