Arthur Cazaux is only twenty-two years old. He turned professional in 2020. I have got to admire this kid because Rafael Nadal is his tennis idol, in fact he inspired the three-year-old kid to tell his parents to buy him a tennis racquet. What makes this player potentially someone to watch is that he enjoys playing tennis on every surface.

Arthur Cazaux lost in the qualifying rounds of the ATP Masters 1000 Paris but got a lucky loser spot into the main draw where he stunned American Ben Shelton. Shelton has not had the season he and everyone anticipated he would. It would have been nice if he could have ended his season on a high note. Unfortunately, that will not be the case. What did Cazaux take away from this experience? Belief that he can hang with the top players.
